West not seeking real talks with Iran, security chief says

Oct 2, 2025, 09:16 GMT+1

The West is not pursuing real negotiations with Tehran but instead seeks to exploit economic and security pressure, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said on Thursday.

“It seems the United States, Israel and Western states largely believe they have limited time to reshape regional geopolitics, and they recognize the resistance front as a significant force,” Ali Larijani said.

Western governments, he added, see economic pressure on Iran as a potential trigger for social unrest that could make it easier to settle accounts with the country.
