Pezeshkian Says Tehran 'No Longer Trusts' Talks with US, Claims Washington 'Miscalculated' Iran
Pezeshkian said previous talks were followed by attacks and sanctions, while Iran proposed a seven-day deal to reopen Hormuz and end fighting.
- On Saturday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told Al Jazeera that Iran no longer trusts negotiations with the United States, as he and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi proposed a deal to unblock the Strait of Hormuz within seven days.
- Addressing the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, Pezeshkian labeled the United States the aggressor, claiming Iran 'has not attacked any country in 200 years' and that the United States and Israel falsely believed the Iranian system 'would collapse within days.'
- Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi detailed the proposal on Friday, stating it involves lifting the naval blockade and releasing $12bn in frozen assets; in exchange, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, 'through which a fifth of the world's traded oil' passed before the war.
- Pezeshkian denied responsibility for blocking the Strait of Hormuz, calling it 'a natural response when routes are cut off to Iran,' while urging regional cooperation and stating, 'We don't need a regional policeman,' and offering to mediate between Iran-backed Houthis and Saudi Arabia.
- Negotiations hinge on a memorandum of understanding reached in June, which lapsed last month, requiring the United States to clarify its position as Tehran awaits a response to Iran's latest proposal to end the war.
