US President Donald Trump has sharply escalated the diplomatic standoff with Iran, ruling out the possibility of negotiations in the near term and warning that the United States will resume military strikes on Iranian installations.
The comments, reported by La Nacion, mark a hardening of the US position after Tehran reportedly sought to restart dialogue.
Trump characterized Iran's overtures as desperate but insisted that any future contact would require "significant" concessions from Tehran first.
The rejection of a diplomatic off-ramp comes as the US and Israel continue to coordinate their posture toward Iran.
Trump's administration has previously dismissed Iranian peace proposals, citing dissatisfaction with the terms offered to end the ongoing conflict.
By explicitly linking any future talks to substantial preconditions, the White House is signaling that the window for a negotiated settlement remains closed.
