Iranian Parliament Deputy Speaker Ali Nikzad stated that Tehran has no intention of negotiating with the United States on nuclear issues under any pressure, believing that the US has "nothing new to offer." He emphasized that Iran's "epic resilience" and the "great power and iron will" of its armed forces have made the US and its allies "face the solid wall of reality," and ultimately it will be the US, not Iran, that yields. Nikzad pointed out that Iran had previously given its enemies ample opportunities for negotiation, but only received "repeated breaches of promises and illegal bombings of some peaceful nuclear facilities."
