Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani issued a harsh statement ruling out any possibility of negotiations with the United States. In a statement on the social media platform X, the senior Iranian official placed full responsibility for the destabilization of the situation on Donald Trump, emphasizing that the American president's actions have plunged the entire Middle East into chaos. Larijani believes the current escalation is caused by "false hopes" Washington is trying to foist on the international community, while the American leadership itself seriously fears a further increase in casualties among its military personnel stationed at overseas bases.

Ali Larijani harshly criticized the White House's foreign policy, claiming that Trump has effectively replaced his famous "America First" slogan with "Israel First." The Iranian Security Council Secretary emphasized that the lives of American soldiers and the well-being of their families are being sacrificed for the sake of Israel's ambitions and the US president's personal "cult of personality." Larijani emphasized that the Iranian people and armed forces are merely defending their sovereignty and security and are not initiating an invasion. He asserted that Washington's new "lies" are aimed solely at justifying aggression, but Iran has no intention of engaging in dialogue with a state that deliberately provokes a conflict of this magnitude. This statement comes amid ongoing mutual attacks and demonstrates the complete severing of diplomatic channels between Tehran and Washington amid the current military crisis.
