Iran military spokesperson says US is negotiating with itself

AN Iranian military spokesman said in a released video on Wednesday (March 25) the United States is negotiating with itself, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said Tehran wants to make a deal to end the war in the Middle East.

“Has the level of your internal discord reached the point where you are negotiating with yourselves?” said Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperson for Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the unified command of Iran's armed forces, in the video.

Zolfaqari added that Iran will never come to terms with U.S., “neither now, nor ever,” in the video.  He also said U.S. investments in the region and pre-war energy prices would not return until Washington accepts that regional stability is ensured by Iranian armed forces.  

Iran's leadership has previously said it cannot negotiate with the U.S. as Washington has attacked the country twice during high-level negotiations in the past two years.

Four weeks into the war that has killed thousands, created the worst energy shock in history and sparked global inflation fears, there was no letup in airstrikes from Iran and Israel on Wednesday.
