The Iranian Pres posted today that there had been no discussions, but:
"Iranian president says in letter that Iran harbors no enmity towards ordinary Americans
"Attacking Iran's vital infrastructure"including energy and industrial facilities"directly targets the Iranian people," Pezeshkian wrote. "Beyond constituting a war crime, such actions carry consequences that extend far beyond Iran's borders.
"They generate instability, increase human and economic costs, and perpetuate cycles of tension, planting seeds of resentment that will endure for years. This is not a demonstration of strength; it is a sign of strategic bewilderment and an inability to achieve a sustainable solution."
He claimed that the U.S. "entered this aggression as a proxy for Israel, influenced and manipulated by that regime." That's associated with Israel's efforts to, as Pezeshkian described, divert global attention from the nation's "crimes" toward Palestinians.
"Is it not evident that Israel now aims to fight Iran to the last American soldier and the last American taxpayer dollar"shifting the burden of its delusions onto Iran, the region, and the United States itself in pursuit of illegitimate interests?" he wrote."
