Description

Tehran drew a hard line as Iran’s Foreign Ministry firmly ruled out direct talks with the United States, delivering a bold message to Washington: “We never beg for negotiations.” Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei, speaking with defiance in Tehran, declared that diplomacy must be grounded in strength and self-interest — not desperation. “Negotiation is a two-way street,” he said, warning that Iran will engage only on its own terms, while weighing recent provocations from the U.S. and Europe. #iran #usiranrelations #tehran #diplomacy #foreignpolicy #geopolitics #middleeast #iranus #esmaeilbaqaei #internationalrelations Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
