Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared on Monday that Iran will not submit to pressure from the United States, accusing the US of attempting to force Iran into surrender. His comments came amid uncertainty regarding Iran's participation in upcoming talks in Islamabad. While Iranian officials have not confirmed attendance, reports indicate that an Iranian delegation is preparing to travel for negotiations. US President Donald Trump mentioned that Vice President JD Vance, along with other officials, is expected to participate in these discussions aimed at resolving ongoing conflicts. The situation remains fluid, with Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, indicating he would attend if US representatives are present. Trump also expressed skepticism about extending a ceasefire that is set to expire soon, warning that failure to reach a peace deal could lead to increased violence.
