Iran says it wants serious negotiations, distrusts US

May 15, 2026, 10:59 GMT+1

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran remains open to negotiations if Washington shows seriousness, but added that Iran has no trust in the United States after previous diplomatic efforts.

“We are interested in negotiation only if the other side is serious,” Araghchi said. “We have no trust on Americans.”

“We are trying to keep the ceasefire to give diplomacy a chance.”

Araghchi’s remarks came after the BRICS foreign ministers’ summit, where he also accused Washington of sending contradictory messages that complicate diplomacy.
