Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has made it clear during a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday that Tehran will not engage in nuclear negotiations as long as Israeli attacks on Iran persist.
According to a statement from the Iranian presidency, Pezeshkian stressed that Iran will not yield to pressure or accept unreasonable demands, and refuses to participate in talks while the Israeli regime continues its military aggression, which began on Friday, reports Al-Rai.
Meanwhile, French President Macron took to social media on X platform, stating that he had urged President Pezeshkian to “quickly return to the negotiating table” despite the current tensions.
The escalation comes amid heightened international concern, with the U.S. Secretary of Defense stating that Washington is “ready to respond if needed,” and the Israeli army confirming ongoing airstrikes on Iranian territory.
