Iran has asserted that a lack of trust between the two sides is the main obstacle in negotiations with the United States. The statement comes amid prolonged tensions between Tehran and Washington over a range of issues, including the nuclear program and sanctions.
According to Iranian officials, the lack of trust has slowed the dialogue process, preventing negotiations from achieving a breakthrough. Iran emphasized that before any talks can proceed, concrete steps must be taken to build confidence on both sides.
Analysts say the statement reflects Iran's cautious approach to engaging with the US and highlights the significant challenges in seeking a diplomatic solution to bilateral issues.
