Iranian MP rules out talks with US, threatens energy market pressure

A senior Iranian lawmaker said there would be no negotiations with the United States and warned that Iran could escalate pressure in energy markets, Iran International reports.

Ali Nikzad, deputy speaker of parliament, said Washington had made a “strategic mistake” and failed to weaken Iran’s system, adding that the country would not return the Strait of Hormuz to normal conditions.

“There is no negotiation,” he said.
