Tehran Rejects Negotiation and Threatens to Continue Fighting: “No Basis for Any Dialogue with Washington”

As military confrontations continue for the fifth day, advisor to the late Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, Mohammad Mokhber, announced that Tehran does not intend to enter into any negotiations with the United States, affirming that his country is ready to continue the war “as long as necessary.”

Mokhber stated in remarks to state television that Iran “does not trust the Americans, and there is no basis for any negotiations with them,” adding that his country is capable of continuing the confrontation for a long time, indicating a preference for military resilience over a diplomatic path.

Iraqi: Negotiations Turned into a “Real Estate Deal”

In parallel, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump, considering that the latter “betrayed diplomacy” as well as American voters.

In a post on the platform “X,” Araghchi stated that the nuclear talks mediated by Oman ended with a “malicious explosion at the negotiating table,” adding that treating the nuclear issue “as if it were a real estate deal” made achieving realistic goals impossible, according to him.

The Iranian minister's statements reflect a shift in the dispute from political divergence to direct accusatory rhetoric, holding Washington responsible for the collapse of the negotiation process.

Trump: The Time Has Passed

In contrast, Trump announced that the door for dialogue with Iran is now closed. He wrote on his platform “Truth Social” that Tehran sought to communicate with him, but he informed them that “the time has passed.”
This political exchange indicates a near-total rupture between the two sides, at a time when military operations are escalating and the scope of regional clashes is expanding.

Open Confrontation Without Negotiation Prospects

With both sides hardening their positions, it seems that the option of escalation has become the most prominent theme of the current phase. Between Iran's absolute rejection of negotiations and the U.S. declaration of closing the door for dialogue, the chances for mediation are diminishing, while the scene remains open to complex military and political possibilities in a region experiencing one of its most tense moments in years.
