伊朗国防部：国家不会在威胁或压力面前退缩，任何缓解地区紧张局势的解决方案都需要实现停火并停止敌对行动。

Axios reports Iran and U.S. officials continue negotiations via Qatari intermediaries despite recent exchanges of fire. Over the past two days Iranian and U.S. officials held parallel meetings in Doha with Qatari mediators. Qatar attempted to convene a trilateral session to resolve remaining differences directly; Iran declined. Qatari mediators traveled to Tehran on Wednesday to meet Iran’s foreign minister and other officials to try to revive talks. Two U.S. officials said they hoped Tuesday’s strike would prompt Iran to act and respond to Trump’s proposal, and that Trump’s threats are part of the same pressure strategy. One U.S. official said: "The deal remains on the table, but if Iran continues to delay and respond passively, the president is ready to make Iran pay."
