The Iranian government has accused the United States of bad faith in diplomacy, pointing to alleged violations of a recent ceasefire.
Foreign ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei, made the allegation on Monday during a weekly briefing, saying U.S. actions were inconsistent with its stated commitment to negotiations.
He said reported strikes on an Iranian cargo vessel, a naval blockade affecting Iranian ports, and delays in implementing a ceasefire in Lebanon amounted to breaches of the agreement.
Iran has been in conflict with Israel and the United States since February 28, when strikes killed Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, escalating tensions across the region.
Since then, both sides have engaged in talks aimed at ending the war, but efforts have yet to produce a durable settlement. The discussions are being held under a fragile ceasefire that began on April 8.
U.S. President, Donald Trump, has indicated that negotiators are being sent for further talks, but Tehran has not confirmed any participation.
Baqaei said Iran has made no decision on attending another round of negotiations.
Key disagreements remain, including Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and the status of the Strait of Hormuz, which has been largely restricted since the conflict began.
He also dismissed claims that Iran had considered handing over enriched uranium to the U.S., insisting the issue was never part of discussions.
