In a firm response to escalating threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, Iranian officials have declared that any attack on their nuclear facilities would cross a “red line” with critical repercussions.

Iran demands that Washington abandon its language of threats and sanctions if it truly seeks a diplomatic resolution. This stance highlights Iran’s insistence on respect for its sovereignty and international law as the foundation for any viable negotiations.
