Tehran: Iran will not retreat from its 'red lines' under pressure from US President Donald Trump's rhetoric, a senior Iranian lawmaker said late Wednesday. Ibrahim Azizi, chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, emphasized that Iran's red lines include the right to enrich uranium, possession of enriched uranium, authority over the Strait of Hormuz, and the removal of sanctions.

According to Anadolu Agency, Azizi took to the US social media platform X to assert that Trump's rhetoric would not deter Iran from its red lines. He pointed out that Trump, 'seeking a way out of this strategic deadlock,' alternates between issuing threats and appealing for an agreement.

Regional tensions have risen since the US and Israel launched strikes against Iran in February. In response, Tehran carried out strikes targeting Israel and US allies in the Gulf, and also closed the Strait of Hormuz. A ceasefire was brokered on April 8 through Pakistani mediation and was later extended by Trump indefinitely.
