(FOX NEWS) — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called U.S. peace offers “unconstructive and contradictory” on Monday.

Pezeshkian said in a statement on X that Iran has a “deep historical mistrust” of the U.S. that has colored negotiations.

“Honoring commitments is the basis of meaningful dialogue. Deep historical mistrust in Iran toward U.S. gov conduct remains, while unconstructive & contradictory signals from American officials carry a bitter message; they seek Iran’s surrender. Iranians do not submit to force,” Pezeshkian wrote.
