SAEDNEWS: The Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized that Iran had never said it would enter the second round of negotiations and then go on to break its commitments.
According to the political service of SaedNews, Esmail Baghaei, spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in an interview with the BBC network that Iran entered negotiations “in good faith and with seriousness,” but is dealing with a negotiating party that has shown a lack of seriousness and good intentions.
Quoted from Fararu, he added that “they constantly change their position.”
In response to a question about whether Iran had agreed to participate in negotiations and then reversed its decision, Baghaei stated: “We never said we would go and then violate our commitments, as is the habit of the United States.”
He also emphasized in his interview that the maritime blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz by the United States is an act of aggression and is still ongoing.
Referring to what he described as U.S. “piracy” and the maritime blockade of Iran, he said: “This is not the behavior of a country that is truly serious about a diplomatic process.”
Baghaei rejected Donald Trump’s accusation that Iran violated a ceasefire by not reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
He recalled statements made after the Iranian Foreign Minister’s post on social media on Friday, in which it was said that maritime corridors along designated routes by Iran would remain “fully open.”
The Iranian diplomat added that Trump immediately thanked Iran, but hours later said that the blockade would be maintained.
In response to a question about Iran’s preconditions for negotiations with the United States, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson said: “We have clearly stated that if we conclude that going to Islamabad is in our national interest, we will go there, but no decision has been made so far.”
