No Talks with US Under Threat: Iran Warns of 'New Cards' if War Resumes
Tehran says it will not negotiate under pressure as U.S. naval moves and accusations of ceasefire violations threaten a fragile truce.
- Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf rejected Tuesday's scheduled talks in Islamabad, stating the Islamic Republic will not negotiate under the "shadow of threats" as the ceasefire deadline approaches Wednesday.
- Ghalibaf accused the United States of violating the two-week truce by imposing a maritime blockade, alleging Washington seeks to turn the negotiating table into a "table of surrender" rather than pursue genuine diplomacy.
- Tensions surged after the United States Navy seized an Iranian oil tanker in the Arabian Sea on Sunday, prompting the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters to threaten retaliation as Iran claims to have prepared "new cards" for battlefield use.
- President Donald Trump warned that Iran would "be hit very hard" if no agreement is reached before the ceasefire expires Wednesday evening, even as Vice President Vance is expected to attend the Islamabad discussions.
- The temporary truce between Washington and Tehran ends Wednesday, leaving diplomatic efforts fragile as long-standing disagreements over nuclear ambitions and Strait of Hormuz disruptions continue to undermine progress toward a sustainable agreement.
