Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said stalled US–Iran talks failed due to “bad faith, siege and threats” from Washington. In a message to US President Donald Trump, he reaffirmed Iran’s willingness to negotiate, but only on genuine terms. He also criticised contradictions in US rhetoric and outlined conditions needed before resuming dialogue between the two sides.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, on April 22, delivered a clear message to US President Donald Trump, shedding light on the stalled second round of US–Iran direct negotiations. Pezeshkian took to his official ‘X’ account to explain why the talks did not take place and outlined the conditions that must be met before Washington and Tehran return to the negotiating table.
He also criticised the US for what he described as hypocritical rhetoric and contradictions between its statements and actions.
President Pezeshkian’s remarks come amid efforts to revive negotiations, even as disputes over sanctions, naval blockades, and military activity persist.
