‘No longer trust Washington’: Iran draws red line on peace talks with US

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said Tehran “no longer trust[s] talks with Washington” following what he described as repeated US attacks and sanctions after negotiations, drawing a clear red line over any renewed diplomatic engagement with the United States.In an interview with Al Jazeera, Pezeshkian said Qatar and Pakistan are currently mediating between Iran and the US and conveying Tehran’s messages to Washington. He said the talks are based on a previous memorandum of understanding signed between the two countries, adding that the “Americans must state their position on it”.Pezeshkian also said Iran would continue to resist pressure from the US and Israel, arguing that those who “thought they could target the Iranian people with sanctions miscalculated”.
