Iranian President Questions Value of US Talks Amid Ongoing Tensions

Analysed 5 Oct 2026·2 sources analysed·Washington (state), United States·Politics
Iranian President Questions Value of US Talks Amid Ongoing TensionsPreviousNext

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized renewed talks with the US, stating that negotiations have been followed by military attacks on Iran three times. He accused the US of using sanctions, threats, and assassinations to undermine dialogue and claimed international inspections have exposed Iran's nuclear sites to attacks. Pezeshkian emphasized Tehran's mistrust of Washington, asserting that negotiations are futile under ongoing hostility. Recent indirect talks have failed to resolve tensions amid continued economic pressure and military concerns.
