Mohammad Mokhber, a senior adviser to the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has stated that Iran does not intend to enter into negotiations with the United States.
Speaking on state television on Wednesday, Mokhber emphasized that Iran is prepared to sustain the conflict in the Middle East for as long as necessary.
He said Iran has no trust in the United States and therefore sees no grounds for engaging in any form of dialogue with Washington.
“We will not go into any negotiation with the US. The Americans cannot be trusted. We can continue the war as long as we want,” he said.
Recall that Iran earlier said it will hold a three-day state funeral for supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in US-Israeli strikes.
“Starting at 10:00 pm (1830 GMT), the faithful will be able to pay a final homage to the body of the martyred guide of the nation, by visiting the Imam Khomenei grand mosque” in Tehran, official news agency Irna said, citing a statement from the Islamic Development Coordination Council.
DAILY POST had reported that Khamenei was 86 years old when he was killed, and will be buried in his home city of Mashhad in northeastern Iran.
