Iran’s foreign minister said Tehran does not plan to return to talks with the United States over the nuclear file, pointing to continued sanctions and wider regional tensions. The remarks suggest a renewed diplomatic pause at a time when efforts to revive the stalled deal remain uncertain.

The comments come as pressure over Iran’s nuclear program persists, alongside disputes over sanctions relief and security issues across the Middle East. Reuters reported that the minister framed the current environment as unsuitable for fresh negotiations with Washington.

For ordinary Iranians, the stalemate means more uncertainty around the economic effects of sanctions, which have weighed heavily on daily life for years. The lack of diplomatic progress also leaves open questions about whether either side can rebuild trust enough to restart substantive talks.

The nuclear agreement has remained dormant since the US withdrawal in 2018, and attempts to restore it have repeatedly stalled. With both sides still far apart, the latest comments underline how fragile the path back to dialogue remains.
