Iran rejects concessions, calls for end to ‘no war, no peace’

Iran’s president said Tehran will not make concessions, urging an end to what he called the “no war, no peace” situation with the West. Masoud Pezeshkian said war offers no solution to the current standoff. He called for a path that preserves Iran’s principles and values, according to his official remarks. His comments come as tensions remain high over Iran’s nuclear program and regional military activity. Pezeshkian did not specify which side he blamed for the deadlock, but stressed that Iran would not bend under pressure. The president’s statement signals a firm stance ahead of any potential talks. Analysts say his wording leaves room for diplomacy, but only on terms Tehran considers acceptable. No immediate reaction came from Western capitals. The “no war, no peace” phrase is often used in Tehran to describe a situation of constant threat without full conflict.
