Iran has accused the United States of undermining progress in the Iran US talks Pakistan mediation process, citing what it described as repeated betrayals, policy contradictions, and excessive demands that are disrupting diplomatic efforts.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that despite deep mistrust toward Washington, Iran has re-entered the diplomatic process with a serious and responsible approach. He stressed that Tehran is still seeking a fair and balanced outcome through negotiations.
According to Iranian statements, the Iran US talks Pakistan mediation discussions have been complicated by long-standing disputes over Iran’s nuclear programme and missile capabilities, along with shifting US policy positions and military actions during ongoing dialogue efforts.
Iran’s UN mission warns that US excessive demands and obstructionism have pushed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty into “free fall,” stressing that without genuine progress on nuclear disarmament, the NPT has no future.

Iran’s UN mission further claimed that excessive demands and obstruction by the US and its allies have weakened the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty framework. It warned that continued deadlock could undermine global nuclear disarmament efforts.
Araghchi also held talks with UN Secretary-General António Guterres, where he highlighted past diplomatic setbacks and alleged military actions against Iran during sensitive phases of negotiations. He said these actions have deepened mistrust between the two sides.
Guterres reiterated the importance of diplomacy and respect for international law, stressing that peaceful negotiation remains essential for maintaining regional stability and avoiding escalation.
Officials in Tehran noted that while the Iran US talks Pakistan mediation process is ongoing, significant differences remain. However, recent engagement, including visits by senior Pakistani officials, suggests that negotiations may be entering a critical phase.
