An Iranian official asserted Wednesday that Tehran will not back down from its “red lines” in negotiations with the United States. 
Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament’s national security committee, wrote in a post on X that Iran’s red lines include the country’s right to enrich uranium, maintain stockpiles of enriched uranium and control the Strait of Hormuz. 
He also called for the lifting of all sanctions against Iran. 
Azizi criticized President Donald Trump, accusing him of seeking a deal with Iran “in order to save himself” from what he described as the “strategic deadlock” surrounding U.S.-Iran negotiations. 
Trump said during a Cabinet meeting Wednesday that Iran was “negotiating on fumes,” while accusing Tehran of relying on delay tactics to try to “outwait” him on denuclearization talks. 
“Iran is very much intent, they want very much to make a deal  so far they haven't gotten there," he said.
