Politics Iran: USA wants Iran to surrender completely
In view of the uncertainty over the future of the Iran war, Tehran criticized the negotiating strategy of the United States. The Iranian news agency Isna quoted foreign office spokesman Ismail Baghai as saying that the USA was not seeking genuine negotiations, but Iran's complete capitulation. In an interview with the Indian magazine "India Today Global", the spokesman said that instead of give-and-take diplomacy, the USA was pursuing the subordination of his country with its demands.

The USA is not interested in a peaceful solution, but in a capitulation document, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kasem Gharibabadi also wrote on X. Iran's position is clear: it wants an end to hostilities, no resumption of the conflict, compensation, an end to the blockade, the lifting of sanctions and respect for Iran's international rights.
On Monday, US President Donald Trump publicly questioned the ceasefire that had been in place for almost five weeks. The reason for this was the "stupid proposal" from Tehran to end the war. He referred to a negotiation document that the Iranian side had submitted.
Parliamentary circles in Tehran said on Tuesday that the Iranian government considered a resumption of hostilities to be likely. A well-informed source said that there were no developments with regard to the negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
