Deep Tide TechFlow News, April 18 — According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency on the 18th, Iran has not agreed to hold the next round of negotiations with the United States. Iran has informed U.S. officials of this through Pakistan. According to sources from relevant departments, due to the U.S. imposing a maritime blockade on Iran and making excessive demands during negotiations, Iran has not yet agreed to hold the next round of talks with the U.S. Iran emphasizes that the main condition for continuing negotiations is that the U.S. "avoid making excessive demands"; otherwise, Iran "is unwilling to waste time on prolonged and meaningless negotiations."
