Iran's foreign ministry accuses US of delaying negotiations
The constant change in the US position, as well as their advancing new demands, leads to the prolongation of the negotiation process.
This was stated by Iranian Foreign Ministry representative Esmail Baghaei.
"In a situation where the other side constantly changes its views, puts forward new or contradictory demands, and sends different conflicting messages through the media, it is natural that this leads to a prolongation of the negotiation process," he said during a press conference.
According to Baghaei, Iran initially had strong distrust toward the US, and at this point, the exchange of messages with Washington is taking place in the same atmosphere. "These contradictory statements may be part of their negotiation tactics, which, however, will not work with regard to the Islamic Republic of Iran," he added.
On Sunday, The New York Times reported that US President Donald Trump had put forward tougher conditions for an agreement with Iran. According to its information, the updated conditions were sent to the Iranian side.
On the morning of June 1, the US, despite the established ceasefire regime, struck Iranian territory. According to a statement from the US Central Command, American forces over the weekend attacked a radar and drone control points in Iran. In response, the IRGC stated that it had struck the military base from which the attack was carried out at night.
