BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 20. Iran has no plans
to hold another round of talks with the U.S., the spokesperson for
the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmaeil Baghaei, said in
his statement during press conference in Tehran, Trend reports.
According to him, no decision has been made on the Iranian side
yet regarding holding discussions.
"For Iran, there is a contradiction between the negotiations and
practical steps taken by the U.S. side. This further increases
Iran's distrust of the U.S.'s goals. Iran will prioritize its
national interests and make the necessary decision to continue the
discussions," he added.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation.
However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in
Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
