Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in an interview with Al Jazeera that Iran "no longer trusts" negotiations with Washington, adding that Qatar and Pakistan have been relaying messages between Tehran and the United States.
Pezeshkian's remarks point to continued strain in indirect communication channels between Iran and the US, with intermediary countries reportedly playing a role in passing messages between the two governments.
The comments come against a backdrop of long-running tension between Iran and the United States over issues including Iran's nuclear programme and broader regional disputes, with formal diplomatic relations between the two countries remaining severed for decades.
Qatar and Pakistan have both previously served as intermediaries in various regional diplomatic efforts, given their relationships with both Tehran and Washington.
Pezeshkian did not detail, according to the interview excerpt, what conditions might be needed to restore trust in direct or indirect talks.
