Iran will not back down from its red lines in negotiations with the US, the head of the Iranian parliament’s national security committee, Ebrahim Azizi, asserted in a post on X/Twitter on Wednesday.
Azizi asserted that the red lines include Iran’s right to enrich uranium, possess enriched uranium, and manage the Strait of Hormuz, in addition to the lifting of all sanctions.
He also lashed out at US President Donald Trump, claiming that Trump is oscillating between issuing threats and begging for a deal “in order to save himself” from the “strategic deadlock” created by US-Iran talks.
ایران با لفاظی های ترامپ از خطوط قرمز خود مانند حق غنی سازی و اورانیوم غنی شده، مدیریت تنگه هرمز و لغو تحریم ها عقب نشینی نخواهد کرد.
دیگر همه میدانند ترامپ برای نجات خود از این بنبست راهبردی یک روز از ابزار تهدید استفاده میکند و روز دیگر برای توافق التماس میکند!— ابراهیم عزیزی (@Ebrahimazizi33) May 27, 2026
Trump threatens to attack Oman if they interfere in Strait of Hormuz
Earlier on Wednesday, Trump stated that the US would attack Oman if they interfere in operations in the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that it must “behave like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow them up,” during a cabinet meeting.
He added that the Strait will not be controlled by any country, but that the US would watch over it.
Trump also claimed that Iran was keen on reaching a deal with the US.
“Iran is very much intent; they want very much to make a deal. So far, they haven’t gotten there…,” he said, adding “we’re not satisfied with it, but we will be. We will be either that or we’ll have to just finish the job.”
