Iranian authorities remain defiant, urge supporters to stay in streets

What Happened

Iranian authorities rejected US demands during Saturday talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, refusing to eliminate nuclear enrichment or surrender control of the Strait of Hormuz. Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated the US delegation failed to gain Iranian trust. US President Donald Trump threatened to blockade the Strait and said the military remains ready. Iranian officials welcomed the negotiation failure, with hardline lawmakers expressing satisfaction that talks yielded no agreement, viewing Iran as holding military advantage.
