The Iranian UN Mission on the 18th (local time) denied former U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that it had requested negotiations with the White House to end its conflict with Israel.

On the same day, the Iranian Mission stated on the social networking service X (formerly Twitter), "No Iranian official has ever begged at the White House door."

The Mission further emphasized, "Iran does not negotiate under coercion, nor does it accept peace under coercion. Even more so, we do not negotiate with outdated warmongers." The U.S. political media outlet The Hill pointed out that the term "outdated warmonger" refers to President Trump.

The Iranian Mission also added, "Iran will respond to every threat and will take appropriate measures for every action."

These remarks directly contradict President Trump's claim that Iranian officials want to negotiate with the United States. On the same day, President Trump told reporters at the White House, "Iranian officials have contacted me," adding, "They want to negotiate."

Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has continued to send out messages of "strong response" while remaining in seclusion to avoid the United States and Israel. President Trump previously stated regarding Khamenei, "We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding," and added, "He is an easy target, but he will be safe there. At least for now, we will not eliminate (kill) him."

On the same day, Khamenei posted on X, "We must respond forcefully to the Zionist terrorist group. We will show no mercy to the Zionists." The term "Zionists" is a hostile expression referring to Israel.
