Iran Says No Date Set for Further Talks with the United States

Tehran. Iran has stated that no date has been set for further negotiations with the United States. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh confirmed that the schedule for the next round of talks between the two nations remains undecided. He clarified that a new meeting cannot be scheduled until a framework for mutual understanding is reached.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a diplomatic forum in Antalya, Turkey, he said, 'We are currently focused on finalizing the framework for an agreement. We do not want to engage in talks that could fail or serve as a pretext for escalating tensions.'

Although the latest high-level talks concluded in Islamabad, no concrete agreement was reached. These discussions were considered the highest-level dialogue since the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

U.S. President Donald Trump had signaled that further direct talks could occur soon. However, diplomats suggest that immediate negotiations are unlikely due to issues regarding location and preparation.

Khatibzadeh accused the U.S. side of making 'excessive demands' regarding Iran's nuclear program, which he claims has hindered an agreement. According to him, the U.S. is attempting to treat Iran differently than international law dictates.
