Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the United States cannot block and threaten Iran while simultaneously expecting dialogue with the country, according to Iranian state media. He emphasized that the U.S. must recognize Iran's rights and cease its bullying and aggression before any dialogue can take place. Pezeshkian also noted that the U.S. frequently violates agreements it reaches, stressing that once an agreement is made, commitments must be honored.
