Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has stressed the importance of diplomacy in reducing tensions with the United States, while also making it clear that Iran does not trust Washington’s intentions. The statement comes at a time when regional tensions remain high and a fragile ceasefire is nearing its end.
According to Beyond Time News, Pezeshkian said that every diplomatic and rational path should be used to avoid further escalation. However, he also noted that caution and mistrust toward the US remain necessary due to past experiences.
No Second Round of Talks Planned for Now
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated that there is currently no plan for a second round of negotiations with the United States. He said the US has not shown seriousness in the diplomatic process and has made unrealistic demands.
He also rejected the idea of deadlines or pressure in negotiations, saying Iran will only act in line with its national interests. According to him, Iran’s nuclear capabilities and defense programs are not open for discussion.
Tensions Over Strait of Hormuz and Maritime Issues
Tensions have also increased over the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route. Iran has tightened control over maritime movement, while the US has maintained pressure through restrictions on Iranian ports.
Recent incidents involving ships in the region have further increased tensions, with both sides accusing each other of violating ceasefire understandings.
Iranian officials have described some US actions as aggressive and damaging to diplomatic efforts.
China Calls for Calm and Continued Dialogue
According to Beyond Time News, China has expressed concern over rising tensions and urged all parties to avoid further escalation.
Beijing called for respect of the ceasefire and stressed the importance of keeping maritime routes open. Chinese officials also encouraged continued dialogue to restore stability in the region.
Communication Between Iran and Pakistan
In a recent phone call with Pakistan’s leadership, Iranian President Pezeshkian appreciated Pakistan’s efforts to support peace and diplomacy in the region.
He also criticized US actions, saying they have created more mistrust and made diplomatic progress more difficult.
Ongoing Military and Political Tensions
Iranian officials have warned that they are prepared to respond to any aggression and will use all available resources to protect their national interests.
At the same time, international concerns are growing as the ceasefire nears its end and no clear agreement has been reached for the next phase of talks.
Final Summary
Iran continues to highlight the importance of diplomacy, but deep mistrust of the United States remains a major obstacle. With no confirmed second round of talks and rising regional tensions, the situation remains uncertain.
According to Beyond Time News, both diplomatic efforts and security developments will play a key role in shaping the next phase of the crisis.
