General Rezaei had previously stated that Tehran has conveyed seven conditions to the US government for the start of any negotiations, terming the message "clear and unequivocal". Iran open to negotiations to end ‘no war, no peace’ situation: Iranian president Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Monday that Tehran remains open to negotiations to end the country’s “no war, no peace” situation, stressing that Iran sought dialogue with the US based on mutual respect but would not surrender to pressure. Speaking at a ceremony, Pezeshkian said Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had instructed officials to end the state of “neither war nor peace,” according to a statement published on the Iranian presidency’s website. “We can negotiate with dignity and resolve the issue with dignity. We favour dialogue and negotiations,” he said. Pezeshkian stressed that logic dictates resolving disputes through negotiations rather than war whenever a country’s rights can be secured through dialogue. “However, we will not surrender to force and bullying,” he added. Recalling his address to the UN General Assembly, the president reiterated that Iran seeks negotiations based on justice and equal conditions while refusing to relinquish its rights under pressure. Referring to what he described as plots by Iran’s adversaries to undermine the country, Pezeshkian emphasised the importance of strengthening domestic production and meeting national needs to enhance resilience and independence. He also called for energy conservation and more efficient consumption to overcome economic and energy-related challenges. Erdogan says he conveyed Turkey's concerns on potential attacks on Iran to Trump Turkey does not want to see a new wave of attacks against Iran, President Tayyip Erdogan said, adding that he conveyed his concerns to US President Donald Trump in a recent phone call. "We emphasise at every opportunity that it is possible to resolve these issues through dialogue and diplomacy. Unfortunately, we see a negative shift once again. We are doing our utmost to prevent this," Erdogan told reporters on a return flight from Azerbaijan, according to a transcript shared by his office on Monday. Regional nations, US citizens 'sick and tired' of Israel 'bamboozling US into forever wars’: Iran FM Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on X on Monday that Americans and people across West Asia were fed up with Israel’s role in dragging US administrations into “forever wars.” Responding to a clip of Trump in an interview with CBS News’ show 60 Minutes, Araghchi said Trump clearly recognised that the majority of Americans were “disgusted with Israel,” but appeared confused about the reasons behind the sentiment. https://x.com/araghchi/status/2119639487252722111?a=7P6YydU6YHPz9Bg4mJI&s=20 "Americans are evidently sick and tired of Israel bamboozling US administrations into Forever Wars. They had enough. So has our region," he wrote. In the interview, Trump defended his decision to attack Iran, saying he would make the same choice again, despite acknowledging the political costs of the war. He claimed the US had won the war and that Tehran was interested in reaching an agreement. Iran’s 2-day Hormuz proposal remains most rational option: Iranian FM spokesperson Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday that Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days remains the logical plan for restoring security to the strategic waterway and the Persian Gulf region, according to IRNA. “Iran’s proposal remains the most rational option on the table. By ‘most rational,’ we mean a proposal that can pave the way for restoring security in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf, while also laying the groundwork for a process to move forward,” Baghaei said at his weekly press conference in Tehran.

By any logic, norm or standard, the US attack was not only absurd, illegal and irrational, but also criminal,” he said. The spokesperson also said the US offer of a $20 million reward for information on Iran’s nuclear program exposes Washington’s confusion, noting that US officials had previously claimed to have destroyed the program while also boasting of monitoring Iran’s every move, according to IRNA. No vital infrastructure damaged in US attack on Qeshm island: Iranian official No vital infrastructure or services were impacted by a US attack on Iran's Qeshm island last night, a provincial official told the semi-official Fars news agency on Monday, adding that the targeted sites were away from residential and commercial areas. Iranian state media reported explosions late on Sunday in Qeshm near the Strait of Hormuz. Separately, an unnamed Revolutionary Guards Navy official told Iranian state media on Monday that navigational aid systems in the south of the Strait of Hormuz were destroyed and no unauthorised vessels transited the maritime route overnight. Trump to meet Qatar's prime minister as Iran diplomacy faces hurdles Trump will meet with Qatar's prime minister at the White House on Monday, according to the White House schedule, as the conflict with Iran drags on and diplomatic efforts to end it face significant obstacles. Trump is due to meet with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, who also serves as Qatar's foreign minister, in a closed-door meeting. Vice President JD Vance is also scheduled to meet with the Qatari leader, according to a US official. Qatar has played a central role as an intermediary between Washington and Tehran, conveying proposals and seeking to bridge differences over Iran's nuclear program and the terms for ending the conflict. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday that negotiations with Iran had made little progress and that he did not see an imminent breakthrough. Speaking before departing Florida for a G7 foreign ministers meeting in Paris, Rubio said Trump preferred a diplomatic solution but described Iran's demands as "unacceptable" and, in some cases, "outrageous and ridiculous, and really not realistic." Diplomatic agreement with Iran may not be possible, says US' Rubio US Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested Sunday that reaching a diplomatic agreement with Iran may not be possible, accusing Tehran of making unrealistic demands and warning that negotiations were not close to a breakthrough. "You have a number of countries that continue to engage them with different ideas, but I wouldn't say we're on the verge of a breakthrough," Rubio told reporters before departing for Paris to attend a G7 foreign ministers' meeting. "The president would always prefer to solve this and every problem diplomatically. Sometimes that's not possible, unfortunately," he added. Rubio said Washington remained willing to explore diplomatic opportunities but characterised the negotiations as unproductive, describing Iranian demands as "outrageous and ridiculous" and unrealistic. Trump acted despite political costs Defending Trump's handling of the war with Iran, now in its ninth month, Rubio argued that Trump had confronted a longstanding threat to US national security despite the potential political consequences. He said preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons should remain a bipartisan priority. The remarks came ahead of the G7 foreign ministers' meeting in Paris on Monday and Tuesday, where the Iran conflict is among the issues expected to be discussed. The US and Israel launched a military offensive against Iran on February 28. A ceasefire was reached in April, followed by a memorandum in June aimed at securing a peace agreement, but negotiations have failed to produce a final settlement. Read: Trump says fresh US strikes on Iran highly unlikely if talks progress Rubio's remarks come after US strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz in recent days, with Trump confirming on Friday that American forces had targeted Iranian air defence systems. On the circumstances under which Washington could conduct further military strikes, Rubio maintained that US actions were "defensive" and depended on threats to American forces or maritime traffic. "Well, the US acts defensively. If there's a threat to our forces in the region, we will act against those. If there's a threat to shipping, we've been defending shipping for a while," he said. "So if there's a clear and present threat to shipping or to our forces in the region, we have a right to defend ourselves," he added. Rubio said any such action would depend on the level of threat and whether Iranian forces were attacking or potentially preparing to attack US interests.
