Citing a senior official's remarks to Reuters, Iranian channels report that Iran's leadership has outright rejected proposals for peace or de-escalation with the United States following widespread strikes.
Amidst massive coordinated military strikes by the United States and Israel against Iranian territory, Iran's leadership is reportedly refusing to entertain diplomatic off-ramps with Washington. According to Iranian breaking news aggregators citing Reuters, a high-level foreign policy meeting in Tehran concluded with a definitive rejection of peace proposals.
The alarmist security and war-tracking channel اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری (Breaking News America War Urgent) relayed a report stating that the "Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran rejected proposals for de-escalation or peace with America in a foreign policy meeting."
A second prominent conflict-monitoring channel, خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, circulated the same underlying Reuters attribution but included a notable variation in terminology. Quoting a "senior Iranian official," the channel reported that it was the "new leader" who explicitly rejected the proposals for de-escalation or peace with the US during the summit.
This hardline diplomatic stance follows a night of unprecedented regional warfare. Just one day prior, US CENTCOM forces launched Operation "Epic Fury," destroying targets on Iran's Kharg Island, while the Israeli military struck over 200 military installations across Iran. Despite international mediation offers from Russia and widespread disruptions to Iran's internal infrastructure, the reported statements signal a continued commitment to confrontation over immediate diplomatic resolution with the United States.
The source channels attribute their claims to Reuters. There is a distinct terminology difference between the two messages: one refers to the 'Supreme Leader' (رهبر جمهوری اسلامی ایران) while the other explicitly cites a senior official referring to the 'new leader' (رهبر جدید). This discrepancy in terminology is translated directly from the Persian sources.
