Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran no longer trusts talks with the United States amid continued strikes and sanctions, according to a report by Russia's TASS news agency.
Pezeshkian noted that mediators Qatar and Pakistan are currently conveying Iran's messages to Washington, suggesting that direct communication channels between Tehran and the US administration remain limited.
The reliance on intermediary countries underscores the depth of the current diplomatic rift between Iran and the United States, with both Qatar and Pakistan having previously played mediating roles in regional and bilateral disputes.
Pezeshkian's comments come against a backdrop of continued sanctions pressure on Iran and reports of ongoing strikes in the region, factors that have contributed to what the Iranian president described as a broader erosion of trust in the negotiating process.
The use of third-party mediators indicates that while formal channels between Tehran and Washington remain strained, some form of indirect communication is continuing through regional intermediaries.
Neither Washington nor Tehran has announced a resumption of direct talks, and the current arrangement of mediated communication appears likely to continue for the time being.
