When discussing the progress of negotiations with the United States, Ghalibaf said that the talks have not eliminated mutual distrust, but both sides have gained a more pragmatic understanding of each other. Some issues have been resolved during the negotiations, while others remain unresolved. He believes there is still a long way to go before a final agreement can be reached. He also emphasized that on certain issues, Iran insists on its stance, and these demands are non-negotiable. (CCTV)
