GENEVA – Iran has continued to maintain hard stand following a meeting with three European foreign ministers in Geneva.
Foreign Minister of Iran, Abbas Araqchi who spoke after the meeting turned down request of the allies of the United States for “zero uranium” enrichment, stressing that Iran will not negotiate with anyone including the United States unless Israel stops attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“I have told the Europeans that Iran will never negotiate on its missile program and that uranium enrichment is a red line”, he said.
On President Donald Trump’s order for Iran to surrender or be attacked by Israeli-American forces, he said:
“The Iranian nation does not have the word ‘surrender’ in its vocabulary”.
What he said tallies with the utterance of the Supreme Leader of Iran, Sayyed Khamenei and President of Iran, Masoud Pezeskhian.
“The Iranian nation also firmly stands against any imposed peace. The Iranian nation will not capitulate to anyone in the face of coercion”, Khamenei said.
“The Iranian nation will stand firmly against any imposed war, just as it always has.
“It was already suspected that the US was involved in the malicious move carried out by the Zionist regime, but considering their recent remarks, this suspicion is growing stronger day by day.
“The Zionist regime’s malicious attack on our country took place at a time when Iranian officials were indirectly engaged in negotiations with the US side.
“There was no indication on the part of Iran that signaled a military move.
“The harm the US will suffer will definitely be irreparable if they enter this conflict militarily.
“The US entering in this matter [war] is 100% to its own detriment. The damage it will suffer will be far greater than any harm that Iran may encounter.
“It isn’t wise to tell the Iranian nation to surrender.
“What should the Iranian nation surrender to? We will never surrender in response to the attacks of anyone.
“This is the logic of the Iranian nation. This is the spirit of the Iranian nation.
“The US President threatens us. With his absurd rhetoric, he demands that the Iranian people surrender to him.
“They should make threats against those who are afraid of being threatened. The Iranian nation isn’t frightened by such threats”.
