Iran says dialogue ongoing with US despite clashes, Tehran will pursue diplomacy and war to advance interests

Monday, July 20, 2026

Iran says that diplomatic exchanges with the United States via mediators were ongoing.

Iran through mediators have received messages, and without going into detail, Iran’s main point is that the diplomatic apparatus has been active in recent days and ideas have been conveyed to them by certain mediators.

Iran: We reject the duality of either war or diplomacy. Diplomacy is a tool through which we pursue our national interests, just like war.

What is being said here: There are no negotiations, we give you our demands, and we are going to fight for them to the end. It appears Iran will continue to fight for its land and has full intentions of surviving.

Is it possible Iran is anticipating a divine intervention of a hidden Imam?

The Hidden Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, is believed by Twelver Shia Muslims to return at the end of time to establish justice and guide humanity. Notice the "end-time" statement.

It's understood that Muhammad al-Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam went into hiding after the death of his father. This event marked the beginning of the Occultation (Ghayba), during which the Imam is believed to be alive but hidden from human perception by divine will.

Eschatological Beliefs

Twelver Shia Muslims believe that al-Mahdi will reappear at a divinely appointed time to lead humanity against injustice and oppression. His return is expected to coincide with widespread moral corruption and tyranny and will be assisted by Jesus in defeating the forces of evil, including the Antichrist.

The Mahdi will be accompanied by 313 loyal followers and will possess relics of past prophets

The timing of his return is unknown, and Shia traditions forbid attempting to predict it, but it said, in end-times.

Does Iran believe this is an all-out war to the end? We’re getting close to finding out.
