Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has outrightly rejected a US-backed proposal regarding its nuclear programme, dismissing it as “unacceptable” and challenging Washington with a blunt remark—“Do whatever the hell you want.” His statement came in response to an offer from US President Donald Trump, who sought to renegotiate terms to limit Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Pezeshkian’s defiant stance signals a deepening rift between Tehran and Washington at a time of rising geopolitical tensions. The Iranian leader accused the US of using threats and coercion instead of diplomacy. “We will not negotiate under pressure,” he said, reiterating Iran’s commitment to its nuclear policy.
The US has long sought to curb Iran’s uranium enrichment programme, citing security risks. Trump’s administration has pushed for stricter controls, but Iran remains firm on its position. Talks between the two nations have repeatedly stalled, with neither side willing to make concessions.
Analysts see this latest exchange as a setback to diplomatic efforts. The escalating rhetoric raises concerns about renewed hostilities, with regional stability at stake. As Iran and the US continue their standoff, the prospect of a peaceful resolution seems increasingly distant.
