BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 28. Iran’s Foreign
Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that returning to negotiations with
the United States remains possible, but Washington must abandon its
policy of pressure.
This was announced in a post published by Iranian Foreign
Minister Abbas Araghchi on X.
“It is entirely possible to return diplomacy to a constructive
path. For this, the U.S. must understand a simple truth: pressure
does not work,” the post reads.
Araghchi called on the U.S. administration to conduct dialogue
based on mutual respect, recognize Iran’s rights, and fulfill its
commitments.
Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that the
Washington administration was currently not interested in
consultations or meetings with the Iranian authorities.
Meanwhile, tensions between Iran and the United States remain
high following the months-long conflict that began with U.S. and
Israeli airstrikes on February 28. A peace memorandum was signed
between the two countries on June 18 under Pakistani mediation, but
talks on a final agreement have faced repeated difficulties amid
mutual accusations of non-compliance and continued pressure.
