Iran Will Not Yield on Uranium Enrichment and Strait of Hormuz Under Trump Pressure

Kuala Lumpur— A senior Iranian lawmaker has firmly stated that Iran will not back down from its key “red lines” despite pressure from US President Donald Trump.

Ibrahim Azizi, Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said Iran’s non-negotiable positions include:

  • The right to enrich uranium
  • Possession of enriched uranium
  • Control over the Strait of Hormuz
  • Removal of sanctions

In a post on X, Azizi stressed that Trump’s threats and shifting rhetoric will not force Iran to retreat from these core positions. He described Trump’s approach as alternating between threats and calls for an agreement as the US seeks a way out of the current strategic deadlock.

The remarks come amid heightened regional tensions following US and Israeli strikes on Iran in February. Iran responded with retaliatory attacks on Israel and US allies in the Gulf, and temporarily closed the Strait of Hormuz. A ceasefire was later brokered through Pakistani mediation on April 8 and subsequently extended indefinitely by Trump.
