Grand Ayatollah Jawadi Amoli, a prominent Iranian cleric, has publicly rejected negotiations with the United States, calling them impossible with an "arrogant power." He stated that the only viable approach is to fight, invoking the legacy of the late Imam Khomeini. This hardline stance comes amid ongoing diplomatic tensions between Iran and the US, with recent peace talks already facing jeopardy after military clashes in the Strait of Hormuz. The remarks highlight internal divisions within Iran's political and religious establishment over engagement with Washington.
