Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani stated that Iran will not resume negotiations with the US until Washington fulfills its commitments under a memorandum of understanding. Zakani emphasized that the leadership's strategy is to keep the path to negotiations closed until America implements the understanding it has made, citing a pattern of the US confronting Iran and failing to deliver on promises. Tehran has repeatedly expressed distrust of Washington, while Trump has described Iran's senior leadership as “dishonest”.
