The talks faltered due to divergent views on two to three major topics. According to the spokesperson, this round was the longest negotiation session in the past year.<\/p>\n<p>Esmaeil Baqaei explained that the exchange of messages began indirectly through mediation by Pakistan, with both sides discussing a range of topics, including Iran&#8217;s 10-point proposal and the counterpart&#8217;s concerns. He added that progress was made on several issues, but disagreements on some key points prevented a comprehensive agreement.<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson noted that these negotiations occurred in an atmosphere mixed with distrust, following a period of tension and military clashes and just days after a ceasefire. He emphasized that, given the circumstances, expecting a deal in a single session was unrealistic.<\/p>\n<p>Baqaei also mentioned that new topics, such as the Strait of Hormuz issue, were raised during this round of talks. Each of these topics carries its own complexities. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical energy transit route in the region and has always held a special place in security and economic discussions.<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson stressed the continuation of the dialogue process, stating that diplomacy is a tool to protect and secure national interests and that this process will not stop. He expressed appreciation for Pakistan&#8217;s mediating role, especially its senior officials, and noted that contacts and consultations with regional countries will continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran-US negotiations end without agreement due to key differences, with talks mediated by Pakistan and new issues like the Strait of Hormuz discussed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10605,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-important-news","category-international"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10606\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
