Iran has stated that it currently has no plans to hold a subsequent round of negotiations with the United States, signaling continued uncertainty over diplomatic engagement between the two countries.
The announcement was made by Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei during a press briefing on Monday. He said that while no decision has been taken regarding future talks, the situation remains open-ended and Tehran has not completely ruled out the possibility of dialogue.
“So far, we have no plans for the next round of negotiations, and no decision has been made in this regard,” Baqaei said, according to official statements.
The clarification comes amid reports that mediators had been exploring the possibility of arranging another round of talks in Islamabad following earlier discussions between Iranian and US representatives. However, no final date or agreement has been confirmed by either side.
Iran has also indicated that any further diplomatic engagement would depend on a clearer framework and assurances regarding its national interests. Officials have repeatedly stressed that Tehran’s participation in talks is guided by strategic and security considerations.
The latest statement reflects ongoing tensions between Tehran and Washington, with both sides still divided over key issues. While indirect contacts and diplomatic messaging have continued through intermediaries, formal negotiations remain stalled.
Earlier discussions between the two countries reportedly failed to produce a breakthrough, with disagreements over major political and security concerns preventing progress. Observers note that mistrust remains a significant barrier to restarting structured dialogue.
At the same time, Iran has accused the United States of inconsistent policies and external pressure, while US officials have maintained that diplomacy remains an option if conditions are met.
International mediators have expressed hope that both sides may eventually return to the negotiation table, but the current stance from Tehran suggests that any near-term talks are unlikely unless significant changes occur in diplomatic conditions.
For now, Iran’s position indicates a pause rather than a complete breakdown in communication, but the future of US–Iran negotiations remains uncertain as regional and global tensions continue to influence the diplomatic landscape.
