Iran's president says "Iranians do not submit to force" following Trump's threat

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said his country wouldn't submit to force following President Trump's threat to attack Iran's power plants and bridges if the two countries can't make a deal.

Pezeshkian also accused U.S. officials of sending unconstructive and contradictory signals Monday ahead of a potential second round of peace talks.

"Honoring commitments is the basis of meaningful dialogue," Pezeshkian said on social media. "Deep historical mistrust in Iran toward U.S. gov conduct remains, while unconstructive & contradictory signals from American officials carry a bitter message; they seek Iran's surrender. Iranians do not submit to force."
