The head of the Iranian parliament’s national security commission laid out Tehran’s “red lines” for any agreement with the US Thursday — and they’re diametrically opposed to those of President Trump.
“Iran will not be pushed back by Trump’s rhetoric from its red lines: the right to enrich uranium, possession of enriched uranium, authority over the Strait of Hormuz, and the removal of sanctions,” Ebrahim Azizi said on X.
“It is obvious Trump, seeking a way out of this strategic deadlock, alternates between issuing threats and appealing for an agreement,” he added.
Trump has repeatedly signaled he would not sign a peace deal with Iran did not require Tehran to give over its enriched uranium, abandon its nuclear program and reopen of the strait.
Only then, the president indicated Wednesday, would he discuss lifting sanctions.
