Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Baghaei, announced on April 22 that Iran has not yet decided whether to engage in a new round of negotiations with the United States. According to BlockBeats, Baghaei stated in a media interview that Iran participated in the initial talks with sincerity and seriousness, but the U.S. displayed a lack of commitment and inconsistent positions.
Baghaei emphasized that Iran has clearly communicated its stance, indicating that if attending negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan, aligns with national interests, Iran will participate. However, no decision has been made at this time. He criticized the U.S. for its blockade of Iranian ports and actions against Iranian merchant ships, describing these as aggressive moves unbefitting a nation genuinely committed to a serious diplomatic process.
