Pezeshkian says Tehran 'no longer trusts' talks with US, claims Washington 'miscalculated' Iran
The Iranian president argued that security in the region should only come through "cooperation among its countries,” blaming the US for the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed on Saturday that Tehran no longer trusts talks with the United States, accusing Washington of miscalculating Iran, according to Iran International. Pezeshkian made these remarks at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Wednesday, where he also criticized US President Donald Trump as a "bully."
He asserted that Iranians had remained steadfast in the face of American and Israeli attacks, and pledged to continue doing so. Pezeshkian claimed that the US and Israel aimed to hinder Iran from relying on itself and had prompted regional conflicts, believing Iran would fall within days. He argued that regional security could only be achieved through cooperation among countries and blamed the US for closing the Strait of Hormuz, referring to the US as an unnecessary policeman.
Pezeshkian also suggested Iran could mediate between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis, though no response has been received from either Saudi Arabia or Yemen.
