Iran has 'no trust' in the US, will negotiate only if it is serious, Araghchi says
Iran is trying to keep the ceasefire to give diplomacy a chance, he told reporters in New Delhi during a visit to attend the BRICS foreign ministers' meeting.
Assessment
Iran's foreign minister signals a conditional openness to talks with the US, but the core issue is a deep lack of trust. The remark, made during a multilateral BRICS meeting, suggests Tehran is testing Washington's seriousness while preserving diplomatic cover. The key question is whether the US will offer concrete gestures to shift Iran's stance.
