International affairs expert Dr. Foad Izadi confirmed that negotiating with Washington is pointless, explaining that Trump does not possess the legal authority to lift sanctions.

Speaking on the digital platform "Jidal", Dr. Izadi stated:

"The crisis between Iran and America cannot be resolved diplomatically, but rather militarily; meaning our defense capabilities must reach a level that deters the enemy's ambitions against us. Lifting sanctions—which is the primary Iranian demand—is not even in Trump's hands; even if he signs an agreement, it requires Congress's approval, which will not happen. America wants to strip us of our cards of strength, and in return, it has nothing tangible to offer us."
