Iran’s Foreign Ministry has accused the United States of failing to demonstrate genuine commitment to diplomatic efforts, alleging multiple violations of a fragile two-week ceasefire and casting doubt on the future of ongoing negotiations.
Speaking at a weekly press briefing, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said recent U.S. actions were inconsistent with its public calls for diplomacy.
“While claiming diplomacy and readiness for negotiations, the US is carrying out behaviours that do not in any way indicate seriousness in pursuing a diplomatic process,” Baqaei said.
Baqaei cited a series of incidents he described as violations of the ceasefire agreement, including a reported U.S. attack on an Iranian cargo vessel, restrictions on Iranian maritime access, and delays in implementing a ceasefire framework in Lebanon.
He said these developments undermined trust between both sides and complicated efforts to sustain the fragile truce.
“These are clear violations of the ceasefire,” he stated.
Iran and the United States have engaged in several rounds of indirect negotiations aimed at ending months of hostilities involving Israel and regional allies. However, those talks have yet to produce a breakthrough agreement.
The current ceasefire, which began earlier this month, remains under strain amid continued tensions and mutual accusations of non-compliance.
U.S. President Donald Trump recently said he had directed American negotiators to travel to Pakistan for further discussions, though Tehran has not confirmed participation.
“As of now, while I am at your service, we have no plans for the next round of negotiation, and no decision has been made in this regard,” Baqaei said.
Central to the stalled negotiations are disputes over Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium and the status of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route that has been largely restricted since the conflict escalated.
Baqaei dismissed reports suggesting Iran was considering transferring enriched uranium to the United States.
“Regarding the issue of transferring enriched uranium, neither during this period of negotiations nor before has transferring it to the United States been discussed,” he said.
“It was never raised as an option for us,” he added.
The conflict, which escalated three months ago following deadly strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has drawn in multiple regional and global actors, raising fears of a broader Middle East escalation.
Despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, both sides remain deeply divided over security guarantees, nuclear policy, and regional maritime control.
