Iran’s foreign minister said on Sunday there is currently no possibility of resuming negotiations with the United States, citing what he described as a lack of constructive behavior from Washington.
“There is at present no possibility of restarting talks with the United States,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told reporters on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting, according to state media.
Araghchi said Tehran was open in principle to discussions that would be “based on equality and serve the interests of both sides,” but added that “the attitude we see from the Americans does not indicate such readiness.”
Relations between Tehran and Washington have remained tense amid continued US sanctions and disputes over Iran’s nuclear program.
Araghchi has previously said that while diplomacy remains Iran’s preferred path, any new negotiations must take place on what he called “a foundation of mutual respect and balance.”
