Iran International English(@IranIntl_En):Iranian cleric Ahmad Alamolhoda welcomed the failure of diplomatic and mediation efforts to end the war with the United States, saying on Friday that they had reached a deadlock. “Fortunately, all efforts to negotiate with the killers of our martyred leader have failed and produced no results,” Alamolhoda, the Friday prayer leader of Mashhad in northeastern Iran, said, referring to the late supreme leader Ali Khamenei. He said Iran should resist pressure from the United States and reject concessions, arguing that the country's armed forces had shifted from a defensive to an offensive strategy.
