A spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry issued a statement declaring that Tehran has no intention of continuing diplomatic talks with the United States. The announcement comes as the 60-day period stipulated in a memorandum of understanding between the two countries has expired, with Iranian officials claiming Washington violated the agreement from its inception.
According to the Foreign Ministry spokesman, the 60-day timeframe "is null and void from the beginning and has no validity whatsoever." He emphasized that Iran is unwilling to engage in diplomatic contact under threat and stated there is currently no intention to continue discussions "which never actually began, due to American violations of the memorandum of understanding from the day it was signed."
The memorandum had established a 60-day window for conducting talks on two key issues: sanctions imposed on Iran and what Tehran refers to as "the nuclear file." However, Iranian officials assert that the United States breached the terms of the agreement on June 28, shortly after it was signed.
"Therefore, no concrete negotiations on the matter commenced, and the 60-day period lacks any validity," the spokesman stated. "Iran will not conduct negotiations under fire and under pressure in an attempt to force our position."
