[IsraelTimes] Pezeshkian doubles down as Iran conducts joint naval drills with China and Russia amid US threats over nuclear program

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tuesday that his country would not negotiate with the United States over its rogue nuclear program while being threatened, telling President Donald Trump
...The Hero of Butler, Pennsylvania...
to "do whatever the hell you want,"
…to be fair, Iran also was uninterested in negotiating when America wasn’t threatening them…
as Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
held joint drills with Russia and China in an effort to demonstrate power.

"It is unacceptable for us that they [the US] give orders and make threats. I won’t even negotiate with you. Do whatever the hell you want," Iranian state media quoted Pezeshkian as saying.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...>
said on Saturday that Tehran would not be bullied into negotiations, a day after Trump said he had sent a letter to him seeking a new nuclear deal with Tehran. Iran says it hasn’t received any letter, but still issued a flurry of pronouncements over it.

While expressing openness to a deal with Tehran, Trump has reinstated the "maximum pressure" campaign he applied in his first term as president to isolate Iran from the global economy and drive its oil exports down toward zero, as the regime builds up stockpiles of uranium enriched to higher levels that needed for any civilian use.

Trump sought to ratchet up pressure Monday by ending a sanctions waiver that had allowed Iraq to buy electricity from its Shiite neighbor.
