​Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that his country engaged with the United States in good faith to end the conflict, through intensive high-level talks described as the most significant in 47 years.

​Araghchi explained that just as Tehran was on the verge of signing the "Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding," it was met with a hardline approach, shifting objectives, and a blockade—factors that ultimately hindered the reaching of an agreement.

​He added that "no lessons were learned from the Islamabad negotiations," emphasizing that "goodwill begets goodwill, and hostility begets hostility." 

His remarks signal a need for a shift in approach to achieve any genuine understanding.
