Iran FM: 'No trust, no deal with US' — 'betrayal of diplomacy,' struck twice in 9 months while in talks
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated Tehran cannot trust US diplomacy, accusing Washington of attacking Iran during ongoing nuclear negotiations. Baghaei said Iran was struck 'twice within nine months' while engaged in talks over its nuclear program, calling the experience a 'betrayal of diplomacy.' The statement is from Iran's diplomatic corps — distinct from the earlier military command rejection — and represents the foreign ministry's formal position on the trust deficit with Washington.
