Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that Iran would not yield to threats from US President Donald Trump during his Gulf tour. Trump criticized Tehran for its involvement in proxy wars and linked talks on resolving Iran's nuclear program to the country's actions. He expressed a desire for a peaceful deal, warning of severe consequences if Iran rejected negotiations. The tension reflects the longer history of US-Iran relations and the impact of Trump's withdrawal from the JCPOA, which aimed to limit Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian stated, "For us, martyrdom is far sweeter than dying in bed. You came to frighten us? We will not bow to any bully."
During the GCC summit, Trump asserted his desire for a peaceful resolution with Iran, emphasizing the need for the country to stop sponsoring terrorism and cease its nuclear pursuits.
Trump said, "If Iran's leadership rejects this olive branch, we will have no choice but to inflict massive maximum pressure. I will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon."
Trump reiterated, "It's a perilous situation, and we want to do the right thing... things like that get started, and they get out of control."
