Iran’s Press TV reported Monday that President Masoud Pezeshkian described Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei as directing officials to end Iran’s “neither war nor peace” condition with the United States, while Tehran remained open to negotiations.
Pezeshkian said talks could help avoid war if Iran’s rights were secured. He paired that opening with a refusal to yield to coercion. His account described an instruction to change the condition; it did not say the confrontation had already ended. He gave no date for negotiations.
In a Nov. 4 statement, Khamenei warned that signs of Iran’s readiness to concede would embolden Washington to press for more and intensify its actions. EconoTimes previously reported on Khamenei’s warning about signs of yielding.
