Iran’s Araghchi Blames US ‘Shifting Goalposts’ for Talks Collapse

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said negotiations with the United States collapsed due to what he described as changing demands from Washington during talks in Islamabad.

Araghchi said both sides were close to reaching an agreement before the discussions broke down. He stated that Iran engaged in the talks in good faith but encountered “maximalism, shifting goalposts and blockade” from the US side.

He added that the two sides were “just inches away” from finalising an understanding before differences emerged at a critical stage.

The talks, described as among the highest-level engagements between the two countries in decades, ended without a deal after extended negotiations. Key issues included ceasefire terms, sanctions relief, nuclear policy, and regional security arrangements.

The breakdown comes amid a fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran, with tensions continuing in parts of the region. Both sides have signalled that further diplomatic efforts may be required despite the current setback.

Araghchi said future progress would depend on mutual conduct, stating that goodwill must be met with reciprocal action for negotiations to succeed.

Trump Warns of New Strikes on Iran if Talks Fail

US President Donald Trump said the United States is preparing for possible military action against Iran if upcoming negotiations do not produce an agreement.

In an interview, Trump said US warships are being rearmed with advanced weapons systems and are ready for deployment if talks fail. He stated that the military would act if a deal is not reached.

The remarks come ahead of negotiations expected to take place in Islamabad following a ceasefire announced earlier this week between the United States and Iran.

Trump said the administration is pursuing a diplomatic solution but indicated that military options remain in place. He described the preparations as part of a broader strategy while negotiations continue.

The ceasefire aims to create conditions for dialogue, but tensions remain high due to ongoing military activity in parts of the region and differing interpretations of the agreement.

US officials have said the talks will address key issues including regional security and Iran’s nuclear programme. Iranian officials have also stated that any agreement must include guarantees against further attacks.

Trump’s comments highlight the uncertainty surrounding the negotiations and signal that both diplomatic and military paths remain under consideration as discussions approach.

Iran Says Uranium Enrichment Programme Will Not Be Curtailed

Iran’s atomic energy chief Mohammad Eslami said the country will not limit its uranium enrichment programme, reaffirming Tehran’s position amid ongoing tensions and negotiations.

According to remarks reported by the Iranian Students’ News Agency, Eslami said external pressure would not succeed in restricting Iran’s nuclear activities. He stated that enrichment remains a core component of Iran’s nuclear programme.

Iran has consistently maintained that its nuclear activities are for civilian purposes and fall within its rights under international frameworks. The issue of uranium enrichment remains a central point of disagreement in negotiations with the United States.

Recent developments have intensified focus on Iran’s nuclear programme following the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran earlier this week. U.S. officials have continued to press for limits on Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, describing it as a key condition in any future agreement.

Iranian officials have rejected demands to halt enrichment, stating that any agreement must recognize the country’s nuclear rights. The position reflects long-standing policy that enrichment cannot be fully restricted, even as discussions continue over potential compromises.

The statement comes as talks are expected to take place in Islamabad, where both sides are set to address key issues including nuclear activity, regional security, and sanctions.
