Iran’s Foreign Ministry has rejected American claims that it requested negotiations, insisting on Friday that no such overture was made. The stark denial comes amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran over the future of diplomatic engagement.
In a statement, Iranian officials emphasised that the key issue at stake is what they describe as a pattern of American violations. “The point that everyone needs to pay attention to is that breaches of commitments from the United States have become habitual,” the ministry said, in an apparent reference to the Trump administration’s 2018 withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The Iranian response suggests deepening frustration with the Biden administration’s approach to reviving the nuclear agreement, which was abandoned by the previous US administration. Iran has previously indicated interest in returning to the negotiating table, but the latest statement suggests mounting scepticism about American willingness to engage in good faith negotiations.
