thebalanced.newsIran Cites Nuclear Dispute and Sanctions in Refusal of US Negotiation Terms
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated Tehran will not negotiate under pressure, criticizing US maritime restrictions as violations of ceasefire agreements. Central to stalled talks is Iran's nuclear program, with the US demanding suspension and custody of enriched uranium, which Iran rejects. Tehran insists on maintaining shipping restrictions through the Strait of Hormuz until US sanctions on Iranian ports are lifted. Iran also seeks sanctions relief, unfreezing of $20 billion in assets, and compensation for damages from US and Israeli actions.
