Iran will not retreat from its “red lines” under the pressure of US President Donald Trump’s rhetoric, a senior Iranian lawmaker said, reports Anadolu.

Ibrahim Azizi, chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian parliament, said Iran’s red lines include the right to enrich uranium, possess enriched uranium, authority over the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of sanctions.

In a post on the American social platform X, Azizi stressed that Trump’s rhetoric will not force Iran to withdraw from its red lines.

He added that Trump, “looking for a way out of this strategic impasse”, sometimes issues threats and sometimes calls for an agreement.

Regional tensions have escalated since the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran in February. Tehran retaliated with attacks on Israel and US allies in the Persian Gulf, as well as closing the Strait of Hormuz.

A cease-fire took effect on April 8 brokered by Pakistan and then extended indefinitely by Trump.
