Hours ahead of US President Donald Trump's much awaited news conference on the Iran war, the Iranian side has once again hardened its position.
According to a report by Iran International, Iran has not been favourable to the US 15-point plan, with the Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei calling the peace talks plan "extremely ambitious and illogical".
Iran has drafted its response to proposals conveyed through mediators
and will announce it when necessary, the foreign ministry spokesman said on Monday, according to Iran International.
Esmaeil Baghaei said negotiations could not take place under threats, warning that US threats to target infrastructure would amount to war crimes.
He added that Iran's focus remained on defending the country amid ongoing attacks, while diplomacy continued alongside military efforts, as reported by Iran International.
