Deputy speaker Ali Nikzad, who presided over the session, said Iran would not yield to foreign pressure. “The hostility and plots of the criminal America against the Iranian nation did not begin on November 4 and will not be solved through negotiations with the United States,” he said. “This conflict is rooted in principles, and the main issue is the effort to make the Iranian nation surrender.”
