An advisor to Iran's supreme leader has leveled fresh criticism at the Trump administration, claiming it has undermined diplomatic efforts for a third time by maintaining economic sanctions and presenting what he characterizes as excessive demands.

The official statement reflects escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington over the handling of negotiations, with the Iranian side contending that the continuation of restrictive measures contradicts any genuine commitment to dialogue. The advisor's remarks underscore the fundamental disagreements that persist between the two nations regarding the terms and conditions necessary for meaningful engagement.

Iran's position centers on the assertion that maintaining economic pressure while simultaneously engaging in talks creates an inherent contradiction that undermines the negotiation process itself.
