An Iranian military spokesman said in a released video on Wednesday (March 25) the United States is negotiating with itself, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said Tehran wants to make a deal to end the war in the Middle East.

“Has the level of your internal discord reached the point where you are negotiating with yourselves?” said Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperson for Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the unified command of Iran's armed forces, in the video.

Zolfaqari added that Iran will never come to terms with U.S., “neither now, nor ever,” in the video. He also said U.S. investments in the region and pre-war energy prices would not return until Washington accepts that regional stability is ensured by Iranian armed forces.

Iran's leadership has previously said it cannot negotiate with the U.S. as Washington has attacked the country twice during high-level negotiations in the past two years.

Four weeks into the war that has killed thousands, created the worst energy shock in history and sparked global inflation fears, there was no letup in airstrikes from Iran and Israel on Wednesday.

1. (SOUNDBITE) (Farsi) KHATAM AL-ANBIYA CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS SPOKESPERSON, EBRAHIM ZOLFAQARI, SAYING:

"In the name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. The strategic power you boasted of has turned into a strategic defeat. The claimant of global superpower status, if it could have escaped this predicament, it would have done so by now. Do not call your defeat an agreement. The era of your promises is over. Today, there are two fronts in the world: truth and falsehood. And any free seeker of truth will not be deceived by your media waves.”

3. (SOUNDBITE) (Farsi) KHATAM AL-ANBIYA CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS SPOKESPERSON, EBRAHIM ZOLFAQARI, SAYING:

“Has the level of your internal discord reached the point where you are negotiating with yourselves? There will be neither any sign of your investments in the region, nor will you see previous energy and oil prices, until you understand this: stability in the region is guaranteed by the powerful hand of our armed forces. Stability comes through power. We state explicitly: Until such time as it is our will, no situation will return to its previous state. That will arise only when the very idea of taking action against the Iranian nation is completely erased from your corrupt minds.”
