Iran has decided not to engage in a second round of negotiations with the United States of America. This announcement comes from the Iranian agency IRNA, citing a source.
According to the agency’s interlocutor, there are “no clear prospects” for a constructive dialogue.
Iran attributed its decision to “Washington’s excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, constant shifts in position, and repeated contradictions.”
The material also states that the US naval blockade, which Iran views as a violation of the ceasefire, influenced the republic’s decision to withdraw from the talks.
US President Donald Trump had previously stated that negotiations between Washington and Tehran would take place in Islamabad on April 20. He asserted that the White House was offering a “reasonable and fair deal.” However, he also warned that the US was prepared to strike power plants and bridges in Iran if the talks were refused.
The American delegation for the negotiations was set to be led by Vice President JD Vance personally.
In the event of a refusal of the deal, the American leader had declared that the US planned to destroy all bridges and power substations in Iran.
