Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the current moment is the best time for an agreement, as Iran is 'strong and victorious,' according to i24NEWS. The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council meanwhile clarified that the country will not agree to concessions.
President Pezeshkian's statement, first reported by N12 earlier today, was also covered by i24NEWS, which added that the SNSC secretary ruled out concessions. The dual messages reflect Tehran's negotiating posture: openness to a deal combined with a refusal to make concessions. As The Zioneer reported at 17:49 Jerusalem, Pezeshkian said Iran appears 'strong and united and victorious in the war.' The SNSC clarification was not included in the earlier report.
