US EditionIran says no date set for next round of negotiations with US
Iran says a second round cannot begin until both sides agree on a framework, after 21 hours of talks ended without a deal, officials said.
- On Saturday, Iran's deputy foreign minister Saeed Khatibzadeh stated no date has been set for the next round of negotiations with the United States, saying "Until we agree on the framework, we cannot set a date."
- Mediators from Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey are working to secure agreement between Iran and the United States, with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty stating officials are working "very hard" to reach a final deal.
- Khatibzadeh accused Washington of attempting to "sabotage" safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, warning that "If ceasefire terms are violated and Americans do not honour their commitments, there will be repercussions for them."
- Dismissing threats of fresh military action, Khatibzadeh criticized President Donald Trump's frequent social media posts, calling Washington's messaging "confusing" and "contradictory" to the diplomatic process.
- Progress stalled due to what Khatibzadeh termed the "maximalist approach by the other side," which attempted to make Iran an exception from international law, though he vowed Iran remains committed to diplomacy.
