Iran Judiciary chief: US cannot impose will at talks after failing on battlefield
Iran’s Judiciary chief said that the United States cannot impose its demands at the negotiating table after failing to achieve its objectives through military aggression and threats.
Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei made the remarks during a meeting with judicial officials on Friday as Washington’s renewed threats and excessive demands derailed Pakistan-brokered talks with Tehran aimed at bringing a lasting end to the illegal US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran.
“An enemy that has not achieved any of its goals and objectives through aggression and threats, cannot impose its will or make excessive demands at the negotiating table,” he said.
“This is our establishment’s decisive and dominant position, and we all stress - under the guidelines of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution - that our diplomacy is in line with the field.”
Ejei also noted that Iran has never left the negotiating table while it has always welcomed negotiations based on logic and rationality, not on imposition.
“We do not welcome a war, but we are not afraid of it. If our honor is threatened, we will fight for our honor,” he asserted.
Iran’s judiciary chief further cited a growing 30-million-strong campaign of Iranians who have pledged to sacrifice their lives to defend their homeland against the US-Israeli aggression.
Meanwhile, he underlined Iran’s domestic and international efforts seeking to punish war criminals and make them pay compensation to the nation.
“Undoubtedly, the defeated and wounded enemy will not sit idly by and will expand its plots day by day. There is also a possibility of the enemy’s new aggression. We are obliged not to ignore the enemy and its conspiracies for a moment.”
The unprovoked US-Israeli aggression on Iran began on February 28 with airstrikes that assassinated senior Iranian officials and commanders.
The Iranian armed forces unleashed 100 waves of successful retaliatory strikes against sensitive and strategic American and Israeli targets throughout the region.
On April 8, forty days into the war, an Islamabad-brokered temporary ceasefire went into effect but the first round of Tehran-Washington negotiations failed to reach an agreement.
US President Donald Trump unilaterally extended the truce, saying his administration will wait for an Iranian proposal for a second round of talks.
However, Tehran has refrained from committing to a second round of negotiations, with authorities citing Washington’s excessive demands and “naval blockade” of Iran as two main impediments to concluding the war.
