Flash: Iranian President Masoud Pazhkian says the supreme leader has given the government more authority on the issue of negotiations, while warning that military pressure will not force Tehran to surrender. Pazhkian said Iran remains committed to resolving conflicts through dialogue and that the expanded authority gives the government more room to seek diplomatic solutions. He also said Tehran would counter what he described as foreign threats and excessive demands, announcing targeted subsidies and cheaper essentials for disadvantaged households and border areas.
