Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has sharply criticized the United States, stating that its 'lack of good faith and dishonesty' are significant obstacles to achieving peace in the region. Speaking at a high-level meeting in Tehran with Norway's deputy foreign minister, Araghchi described the US approach as 'arrogant,' marked by 'threatening and provocative rhetoric.' He emphasized that the absence of genuine intentions from the US has made it nearly impossible to reach a definitive peace agreement. The comments come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts, with negotiations between Tehran and Washington over a potential ceasefire and a broader Middle East peace framework remaining stalled. Iran has made it clear that it will only engage in further talks if the US eases sanctions, ceases military pressure, and addresses Tehran's security demands. Reports indicate that the two nations are far apart on critical issues, including Iran's nuclear program and control over the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, US President Donald Trump has dismissed some Iranian proposals, leading to accusations from Tehran that Washington is shifting its demands during negotiations.
