IRAN’S president vowed on Wednesday that the Islamic republic would not bow to outside aggression, as it marked the anniversary of the 1979 revolution with events overshadowed by the looming threat of US military action.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff held indirect talks on the nuclear issue in Oman on Friday, although it remains unclear when, or even if, a new round might be held, despite optimistic statements from Tehran.
Iran’s supreme national security council head Ali Larijani followed this up with talks in Oman on Tuesday and he was now heading for discussions in US ally Qatar, one of the Gulf states seeking to mediate a peaceful outcome.
Qatar’s Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Trump in a telephone call meanwhile discussed “international efforts aimed at de-escalation and strengthening regional security and peace”, the royal court said Wednesday. in a speech at Azadi Square in the capital for the 47th anniversary of the Islamic revolution, President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran would not yield to “excessive demands” from Washington.
“Our Iran will not yield in the face of aggression, but we are continuing dialogue with all our strength with neighbouring countries in order to establish peace and tranquillity in the region,” he said.
