Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that all decisions are made according to the directives of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, emphasizing that the level of communication with him has increased recently.

He stated during a speech at the National Day ceremony honoring industry and mining on Tuesday that Khamenei stressed in private meetings the need to end the state of 'neither war nor peace,' adding that Tehran's position in negotiations was based on reopening the Strait of Hormuz to oil exports and addressing other vital issues, before accusing the United States of failing to fulfill its commitments.

The Iranian president renewed accusations against America of waging a 'comprehensive war' aimed at creating internal pressure and causing social collapse, saying that 'targeting infrastructure was intended to weaken the country, but internal harmony and the resilience of producers and industrialists prevented those goals from being achieved,' according to his statement.

Pezeshkian claimed that the failure to achieve the war's objectives pushed the Americans to change their approach and move toward dialogue, criticizing some statements issued from within regarding the negotiations, considering that they undermine the achievements his country has made, calling for 'not to underestimate the efforts of the negotiating team through thoughtless comments.'

The Iranian president's statements coincided with the continuation of military strikes inside Iran, as Iranian television reported a new attack on a point in the mountainous areas of Khorramabad, in Lorestan province in the west of the country.

Meanwhile, Iranian Interior Minister Iskandar Moameni began a visit to Islamabad, which plays the role of mediator between Washington and Tehran, where he met with Pakistani army chief Asim Munir.

According to informed sources, the two sides discussed preparations for a new round of negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, and the sources confirmed that Pakistan is trying to push for the resumption of negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Ismail Baqai, said in a press conference on Monday that diplomatic communications with the United States through intermediaries are still ongoing, despite the American military strikes on the country.
