Trump turning negotiations into ‘table of surrender’, Iran's top negotiator says

Iranian negotiator and parliament speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf said President Donald Trump is trying to turn negotiations into “a table of surrender”.

“We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats,” he wrote on X, adding that Iran is prepared to “reveal new cards on the battlefield”.

His remarks add to uncertainty over possible talks in Islamabad, with US officials expected to attend while Iran has said it has no plans to reengage “for now”.
