Iran remains open to diplomatic dialogue but will not surrender to outside pressure, Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi said, according to Iran's IRNA news agency.
Gharibabadi's comments frame Tehran's position as one of continued engagement in international diplomacy while rejecting demands it characterizes as amounting to capitulation, a message that reflects Iran's official government stance on ongoing tensions with Western powers.
Context of Iran's diplomatic posture
Iran has faced sustained international pressure over its nuclear program, regional activities and sanctions imposed by the United States and other governments in recent years. Iranian officials have repeatedly stated a willingness to negotiate on some issues while rejecting terms they view as unacceptable to national sovereignty.
The specific dialogue channels or negotiating partners referenced were not detailed in the available report, and it remains unclear whether Gharibabadi's remarks were tied to a specific ongoing negotiation process or represented a general statement of policy.
Iran's diplomatic messaging on these issues is often conveyed through senior foreign ministry officials via state media, and has not been independently corroborated by counterpart statements from other governments involved in relevant discussions.
