Iran’s government firmly rejects a cooperation proposal from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, dismissing it as a trap amid ongoing tensions.
Iran’s Supreme Council Spokesman Issues Strong Denial
Hassan Abedini, spokesman for Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, declared on March 25 that Americans and their allies show no willingness to cooperate now or permanently. “To resolve their internal divisions, they need our cooperation—that’s the reality,” he stated, warning, “Don’t call this trap ‘peace.'”
This represents Iran’s first official rebuttal after Trump promoted comprehensive cooperation and Iran conducted a missile launch on March 22.
No Change Despite U.S. Efforts
Abedini emphasized that U.S. gatherings—even in energy and social sectors—would alter nothing. “Core instability arises from Uri’s iron grip, a fact holding true to the end,” he noted. He added that no situation could reverse course through any means, highlighting persistent input fields tied to central issues.
State Media and Diplomatic Stance
Iran’s state news agency IRNA quoted an ambassador asserting no direct or indirect cooperation exists with Trump’s leadership or associates. On third-country mediation, officials clarified it lacks substance, serving as a Western ploy to retain influence rather than foster true partnership.
Pakistan’s government reportedly delivered a U.S. ultimatum to Iran via think tank channels, though cooperation details remain unresolved. This comes as Turkey faces policy threats over its mediation role.
