Criticism of US position
Pezeshkian said the main obstacle to reaching an agreement remains what he described as “double standards” and a “hegemonic approach” by the United States.
Iranian officials have repeatedly expressed skepticism over Washington’s commitments, citing past negotiations that failed to produce lasting outcomes.
Willingness for agreement
Despite the criticism, Pezeshkian reaffirmed Iran’s readiness to reach a “balanced and fair” agreement that would ensure long-term peace and security in the region.
Tehran emphasized that any future deal must respect its interests while contributing to regional stability, signaling that diplomatic channels remain open despite ongoing tensions.
