The United States is negotiating with ​itself, an Iranian military spokesman ‌said, according to state media on Wednesday, a day after US President Donald ​Trump said Tehran wants to ​make a deal to end the ⁠war in the Middle East.

A 15-point ​plan aimed at putting an end ​to the conflict was drafted by Washington and sent to Tehran, a person familiar ​with the matter told Reuters on ​Tuesday.

“Has the level of your inner struggle reached ‌the ⁠stage of you negotiating with yourself?” Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperson for the unified command of Iran’s armed forces, ​Khatam al-Anbiya ​Central Headquarters, ⁠taunted the US leadership.

“People like us can never get ​along with people like you.”

Zolfaqari ​said ⁠US investments and pre-war energy prices would not return as long as ⁠Washington ​does not accept ​that regional stability is guaranteed by Iranian armed forces.
