The secretariat of Iran's Supreme National Security Council issued a statement early Friday vowing no compromise in defending the rights of the Iranian people and the 'axis of resistance,' and warned that if the United States violates commitments under any understandings, Tehran will respond according to a pre-prepared plan. The statement was published on the council's official channel.
The secretariat of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) issued a formal statement early Friday, reiterating Tehran's hardline posture amid ongoing diplomatic tracks with the United States. The statement, published on the council's official channel, affirmed that the council is implementing the directives of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei with 'no compromise' on defending the rights of the Iranian people and the 'axis of resistance.'
The language marks a sharp counterpoint to recent signals from other Iranian officials about a possible memorandum of understanding with Washington, including reports that a signing was imminent and that the SNSC had declared a 'permanent end' to war on all fronts. Friday's statement from the secretariat does not mention any agreement and frames any future talks strictly as a continuation of Iran's maximalist demands — including 'avenging the pure blood of the martyrs' — while declaring 'complete distrust of an enemy that breaks promises and agreements.'
The statement explicitly warns that if the US violates or deviates from any commitments, Iran will respond 'according to a pre-prepared plan.' This is the first time the SNSC secretariat has publicly mentioned a pre-prepared contingency for a breach, signaling that the council's posture remains one of hardened defiance even as negotiations proceed. It remains unclear whether the statement represents a coordination within the Iranian establishment or a divergence between factions.
