Revolutionary Guards deputy chief says Iran won't negotiate with Washington, says US 'won't dare attack Iran'.
Iran will not engage in talks with the US, a senior Iranian official said Friday, adding that the United States would never “dare” to attack the Islamic republic.
Yadollah Javani, the deputy leader of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps’ political bureau, told the Iranian Tasnim outlet that Iran will not negotiate with the US, according to a report released Friday/
“We will not negotiate. There will be no negotiations on any issue with the US,” Javani said, adding “and the US will not dare to attack Iran.”
“We will not surrender.”
Javani went on to say that Iran was not suffering the kind of “internal disarray” he suggested the US believed would set in following its restoration of sanctions on Tehran.
"With the new sanctions and pressures imposed by the United States… Trump thought that Iran would face a kind of internal disarray and would eventually negotiate with the United States, but in practice it did not happen."
“In 2018, the Trump administration was confident that Iran would be in turmoil, and would be forced to negotiate with the US… but in practice this did not happen.”
Javani’s comments came after President Donald T rump urged the Iranian regime to agree to talks with the US aimed at ending its nuclear program – while hinting that the US could use military force against Iran.
