Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said today that his country maintains “deep historical mistrust” of the US government, and he criticized what he called “unconstructive and contradictory signals” from American officials.
“Honoring commitments is the basis of meaningful dialogue,” Pezeshkian wrote Monday in a post on X. He added that the mixed messages from US officials “carry a bitter message; they seek Iran’s surrender.”
“Iranians do not submit to force,” he said.
