Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has ruled out returning to negotiations with the United States unless Washington abandons its “excessive and unreasonable demands,” signaling continued deadlock in nuclear diplomacy.

He added that previous rounds of talks, including those held in New York, collapsed due to U.S. overreach.

Araghchi said the U.S. and its European allies sought “unreasonable and unachievable concessions” while ignoring Iran’s “completely reasonable” counteroffers.

With no sign of compromise from the American side, prospects for renewed talks remain dim. Iran insists that any future negotiations must be based on mutual respect and realistic expectations.
