🔥Iran informs the U.S. that it has not agreed to hold the next round of talks

On April 18, Tasnim News Agency reported that Iran has not yet agreed to hold the next round of negotiations with the United States. Iran has informed U.S. officials through Pakistan. The report says that, as the U.S. has imposed a maritime blockade on Iran and made excessive demands in the talks, Iran has not yet agreed to the negotiations. Iran also stresses that the key/primary condition for continuing the talks is for the U.S. to "avoid making excessive demands"; otherwise, it is unwilling to waste time on a prolonged standoff in negotiations.
