TEHRAN April 12, 2026 – In a significant statement amid ongoing diplomatic tensions, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has indicated that a pathway to agreement with the United States remains possible — but only if Washington abandons what he described as its “totalitarianism” and fully respects the rights of the Iranian nation.
Speaking through an official post on X (formerly Twitter), President Pezeshkian declared:
“If the American government abandons its totalitarianism and respects the rights of the Iranian nation, ways to reach an agreement will certainly be found.”
He went on to extend his appreciation to Iran’s negotiating team, offering special thanks to “my dear brother Dr. Qalibaf” and the entire delegation involved in the talks.
The remarks come as Tehran and Washington continue high-stakes discussions, with both sides navigating longstanding differences over nuclear issues, regional security, and sanctions. Analysts note that Pezeshkian’s language maintains a firm stance on Iranian sovereignty while keeping the door to diplomacy open.
BRICS News, which first highlighted the statement, described it as a “JUST IN” development in Iran-U.S. relations. The post quickly gained traction, reflecting heightened global interest in any potential breakthrough or continued standoff between the two nations.
Life News Agency will continue to monitor developments as negotiations progress.
