News Gazeta reported on March 15, 2026, at 4:27 PM that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi clarified Tehran’s position. He stated unequivocally that “never requested a ceasefire, nor negotiations,” as confirmed by the BBC.
This declaration follows previous remarks from American President Donald Trump. Trump suggested Iran sought an agreement, yet remained unwilling to accept it due to perceived inadequate terms. He explained to the Face the Nation program on CBS News that “We do not see any reason to speak with the Americans, as they were speaking with us when they chose to attack us.”
The Iranian minister underscored that the current situation represents a conflict initiated by President Trump and the United States.
He affirmed Iran’s commitment to continuing its self-defense measures. The foreign minister’s statement reflects a resolute stance, emphasizing the circumstances surrounding the ongoing tensions.
