Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that President Trump's statements about pressuring Iran to sign an agreement should be ignored, arguing that threats have proven counterproductive, according to Iranian media.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed President Trump's statements about pressuring Tehran into an agreement, saying they should not be given attention and that threats have proven counterproductive, according to a report circulating on Iranian-linked channels. The remark is the latest in a string of Iranian official responses to Trump's intensified rhetoric. Over the past several days, senior Iranian figures — from the president and the military spokesman to former negotiators and the foreign ministry spokesperson — have all pushed back against Trump's warnings and bombing campaign. The foreign minister's statement aligns with Tehran's consistent messaging: negotiations under duress are unacceptable, and the regime is prepared for escalation. No new operational moves or diplomatic signals were reported alongside the statement. The comment comes amid ongoing U.S. strikes on Iranian targets and conflicting signals from Tehran about the status of a potential memorandum of understanding with Washington.
