Iranian officials have responded to escalating tensions with the United States, stating that Tehran has communicated its conditions to Washington. The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council claimed that US President Donald Trump is "stuck in a swamp" and is "unable to decide" between negotiations and war.
The official asserted that the US has resorted to sanctions due to its "helplessness" in a potential military conflict. Additionally, Ebrahim Azizi, the head of Iran's parliamentary national security committee, warned that the United States "must leave the region."
