Iran again rejects nuclear negotiations with the United States
Iran has reiterated its refusal to resume negotiations on its nuclear program until the United States withdraws its "unreasonable demands." The announcement was made by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, who emphasized that the continuation of the talks depends on a more balanced stance from Washington. During a recent press conference, Araqchi argued that the failure of recent rounds of talks was due to the excessive demands placed on them by the US government, which has led Tehran to review its approach and postpone any future meetings.
The minister insisted that discussions must be based on mutual respect and equality, conditions he hopes will be met before Iran returns to the negotiating table. According to Araqchi, it is essential that both parties act in good faith and are willing to compromise to make progress on issues of mutual interest. In the current context, the lack of trust in the US commitment has led Iran to definitively withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), an agreement that sought to limit Iranian nuclear development in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.
