### Response Iranian Foreign Minister: Talks Can Only Resume if the US Is Serious

According to Odaily, the two-day BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting concluded today (May 15) in India. At a press conference, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran is trying to maintain a ceasefire to give diplomacy a chance, but is also prepared to return to the battlefield. Araghchi said that the current negotiations between Iran and the US aimed at ending the war remain stalled, and the mediation process by Pakistan has not failed, but has merely encountered "difficulties." Iran has "zero trust" in the US and is only interested in negotiating if the US side shows a serious attitude. Araghchi pointed out that the "conflicting messages" sent by the US have raised doubts in Iran about Washington's true intentions for negotiations. (CCTV International News)
