WANA (Nov 26) – The Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council stated that the Americans attempt to present themselves as the pivotal force behind every global development, but this is merely self-deception.

 

Ali Larijani, the Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, in a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), wrote: “The Americans try to portray themselves as the turning point of every global development, but this is a form of self-deception.”

 

“WE ACCEPT GENUINE NEGOTIATIONS, not artificial ones, AND THE OUTCOME OF ANY NEGOTIATION MUST NOT BE PREDETERMINED,” he added.

 

Iran and the United States’ nuclear talks were halted after five rounds of negotiations as the Israeli regime attacked Iran on June 13, 2025.  Israel launched a military attack targeting areas in Tehran and other cities, including the country’s nuclear facilities. This act killed several Iranian scientists, military personnel, and civilians.  This action did not go unpunished, as Iran’s Supreme Leader stated, and the Israeli regime faced severe retaliatory strikes.

 

In the continuation of this aggression, the United States also joined Israel’s war against Iran by launching direct attacks early Sunday (June 22) on Iran’s nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. This aggression also faced a strong response, in which Iran struck the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. This base is the headquarters of the U.S. Air Force and its largest strategic asset in West Asia.

 

Finally, on June 24, the U.S. President announced a ceasefire agreement between Iran and the Israeli regime. The Islamic Republic of Iran, while stressing that it did not start the war, declared that if the Israeli regime halts its illegal aggression, Iran also has no intention of continuing its retaliatory actions.
