Iran: First Round of Talks Showed Good Faith, but US Response Was Lukewarm

Odaily Planet Daily News Today (April 22), Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Baghaei stated that Iran has not yet decided whether to participate in a new round of negotiations with the United States. In an interview with the media, Baghaei said that Iran participated in the first round of talks with the US in good faith and with a serious attitude, but the US side displayed a cold attitude and lacked sincerity, and its stance has been inconsistent. He stated that Iran has made it clear that it would participate in the negotiations if attending them in Islamabad, Pakistan, serves the national interest, but no decision has been made yet. Baghaei added that the US blockade of Iranian ports is an act of aggression, and firing on and seizing Iranian commercial vessels is not the behavior of a country truly committed to a serious diplomatic process.
