Iran's authorities project hardened stance with more talks on horizon
"Iran's authorities and state media project that they are less interested than before the war in negotiations with the United States if they go beyond their accepted terms, as mediated talks failed to materialise in Pakistan."
"The top diplomat, who was not joined by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf like in a previous round of negotiations earlier this month, said he was yet to see if the US is truly serious about diplomacy."
"Amid a state-imposed near-total internet shutdown in Iran, officials and the supporters of the Islamic Republic emphasise that they are united in opposing any concessions to Trump."
"Since Trump highlighted the perceived fractures, military, security, judiciary and government authorities in Iran have been releasing synchronised messages with near-identical wording to proclaim absolute unity."
Iran's authorities express diminished interest in negotiations with the United States, particularly if terms exceed their acceptance. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with senior Pakistani officials before traveling to Oman and Russia. The US President canceled a planned trip to Pakistan, asserting that Iran's leadership is disunited. Amid an internet shutdown in Iran, officials emphasize unity against any concessions to the US. Messages from military and government authorities reflect a synchronized stance of absolute loyalty to the Supreme Leader.
