Tehran: Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Tuesday sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent invitation for dialogue, describing it as contradictory and inconsistent with Washington’s ongoing actions toward Tehran. Iranian officials accused the U.S. of “hostile and criminal behavior” even as Trump suggested he was open to negotiating a deal with Iran during remarks to Israel’s parliament.

“Mr. Trump can either be a President of Peace or a President of War, but he cannot be both at the same time,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on X, underlining Tehran’s deep skepticism of the U.S. approach. He reiterated that Iran has always been open to “respectful and mutually beneficial diplomatic engagement,” provided any dialogue is backed by consistent and trustworthy actions.
