Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on December 12th that Iran will not resume nuclear negotiations with the United States until a previously agreed-upon interim deal is fully implemented. The announcement, made in Cairo, signals a hardening of Iran’s position in ongoing discussions. Araghchi indicated that progress on a comprehensive agreement is contingent upon demonstrable action from the US side regarding the temporary accord. This interim agreement reportedly involves measures aimed at de-escalating tensions and building trust between the two nations. The Iranian official did not specify details of what constitutes full implementation, leaving room for potential disputes. The move casts doubt on the immediate prospects for reviving stalled nuclear talks. This decision reflects growing frustration within Iran over the perceived lack of commitment from the United States.
