Shafaq News..Pezeshkian: Negotiations with US end in war

Shafaq News- Tehran

Renewed conflict has repeatedly followed moves by Iran and
the United States toward negotiations, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said
on Monday.

“We have repeatedly demonstrated our good faith regarding
our nuclear activities and undergone the most extensive inspections by the
International Atomic Energy Agency,” Pezeshkian told reporters, adding that every
time the agency’s inspectors came, Iranian nuclear sites and scientists were
identified, then the sites were bombed and the scientists assassinated.

“There is no point in negotiating with an enemy that carries
out assassinations, imposes sanctions and exerts pressure every day, and
violates its commitments,” he added.

Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces Ali Abdollahi stated
in a message carried by Iranian media that Tehran is prepared to confront any
threat and that another war against Iran would affect all sides.

The Jerusalem Post
separately reported that the USS Theodore Roosevelt was heading to the Middle
East for an extended deployment, while the USS Makin Island amphibious ready
group was carrying the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit, including about 2,200
Marines and other personnel, along with roughly 2,000 sailors aboard its three
ships.
