Defiant Leader Declares: No Negotiations with Deceptive U.S. Government!

Negotiating with the United States is an unwise choice, according to Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution. In recent remarks, he highlighted the futility of past negotiations with the U.S., emphasizing that such discussions have historically failed to yield positive results for Iran.

During his address, Ayatollah Khamenei stated, “Negotiating with America will solve no problem. Proof? [Past] experience!” He referred to previous negotiations in the 2010s, where Iran made significant concessions, only to find that the United States failed to uphold its end of the agreement.

• “The Americans did not comply with that very agreement.”
• “The very same person who is now in office [in the United States] tore up the agreement.”
• “The agreement was meant for America’s sanctions to be removed. They were not removed!”

Ayatollah Khamenei reiterated that Iran’s experience with the United States shows that negotiating with them is “unwise, not intelligent, not honorable.” He acknowledged the economic challenges faced by the Iranian population, stating, “As for their livelihood, nearly most echelons of the population have certain afflictions.”

However, he emphasized that the resolution to these challenges lies within Iran itself. “What resolves those problems is a domestic element,” he explained, highlighting the importance of collaboration between officials and the nation. He expressed optimism about the current administration’s efforts to alleviate the issues affecting the people.

In a meeting with commanders, staff, and airmen from the Iranian Army’s Air Force and Air Defense Force in Tehran, the Leader clarified that while Iran is open to negotiations with other countries, the United States remains an exception. “Of course, we don’t count the Israeli regime as an exception — because that regime is not a government to begin with and is rather a criminal and land-usurping gang,” he stated.

Regarding threats from the United States, Ayatollah Khamenei remarked, “The Americans are sitting [behind their desks] changing the map of the world on paper. Of course, it is only on paper; it has no reality to it.” He warned that Iran would respond decisively to any threats, saying, “If they threaten us [verbally], we will threaten them. If they actuate that threat, we will actuate ours.”

In conclusion, the Leader reiterated that any violation of Iran’s national security would be met with a firm response, asserting, “If they violate our nation’s security, we will violate their security without a doubt.”
