Diplomatic process must be "trustworthy"
Iran’s President insists returning to negotiations hinges on rebuilding trust shattered by the Israeli regime. In an interview with Tucker Carlson network, Masoud Pezeshkian pointed to decades of misinformation from the Israeli leadership, accusing Prime Minister Netanyahu of falsely portraying Iran as seeking nuclear weapons. He also recalled the recent negotiations with the US where assurances of non-aggression during the talks were given only to see diplomacy bombed at the table. He added the Israeli use of nuclear watchdog's reports to justify unapproved strikes also fueled Iranian mistrust. Pezeshkian called for dialogue based on international law, accusing Israel of disrupting peace efforts. Reaffirming Iran’s right to defend itself, he said the country hopes to return to the negotiating table after the crisis is over only under one condition: Trust in the diplomatic process.
"Facade of diplomacy"
Iran warns that meetings between the Israeli Prime Minister and the US President are merely staged events aimed at misleading the international community. An Iranian source argues that the meetings are pre-arranged and part of a broader deception plan. Iran believes Israel is seeking conflict, and talks of diplomacy are merely a facade. The source also expressed skepticism about any genuine negotiations, emphasizing that Iran remains on high alert and fully prepared for fresh escalation. It added that the US and Israel are mistaken to believe that post-war diplomacy and talks are trustworthy. Tehran insists that in warlike circumstances, there’s no room for peace, and only after tensions ease will the country consider dialogue.
US-Israeli Gaza genocide
Gaza has witnessed yet another deadly day as Israeli forces continue their relentless bombardment of the besieged territory. According to Gaza’s Health authorities, at least 24 Palestinians have been killed since the early hours of Monday, including 2 who were waiting for humanitarian aid in Rafah in Southern Gaza. The strikes have been widespread, with Khan Yunis and Gaza City bearing the brunt of the latest attacks. Since the beginning of Israel’s genocide in October 2023, more than 57,500 Palestinians have been killed, and over 136,600 others injured. The death toll continues to rise amid recovery of more bodies from under the rubble and a deepening humanitarian crisis.
