Iran Says U.S.Shifted Position Near Final Stage of Islamabad Talks

The Kabul Tribune (KT) - Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi says Iran entered recent talks with the United States in “good faith,” but faced a shift in Washington’s position in the final stages.

In a post on X on Monday, he said the negotiations were held at the highest level in 47 years and were aimed at ending the recent war.

According to Araghchi, “But when just inches away from the Islamabad MoU, we encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and a blockade.”

He added that “Good will begets good will. Enmity begets enmity,” stressing that the other side’s approach prevented a final agreement.

The report also says that the U.S.–Iran talks in Islamabad ended yesterday after 21 hours of negotiations without any result.
