Iran Refuses Negotiations Until U.S. Ends Maritime Blockade

Iran is playing hardball, stating they won't return to the negotiating table while the U.S. maintains its maritime blockade. Their attendance at upcoming talks remains uncertain as Tehran demands a shift in American policy first. This stance suggests that economic and military pressure will not force them into a submissive dialogue. For now, the diplomatic stalemate continues with both sides waiting for the other to blink.
