In a standout address at the National Security Commission of Iran's parliament, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi declared that no rounds of negotiations have taken place with the United States. Expressing a firm preference for indirect discussions, Araghchi dismissed any notion of a deal similar to the landmark 2003 agreement with Libya, stating, "unless they are dreaming," to debunk such comparisons.
The remarks come amid heightened tensions following U.S. President Donald Trump's warning of unprecedented military actions if Iran refused direct talks over its nuclear program. While Washington has proposed direct engagement—including a letter sent via the United Arab Emirates—Tehran has maintained that only indirect negotiations hold potential for a constructive dialogue.
This development reflects the evolving landscape of international diplomacy and highlights how global strategies are adapting in today’s fast-paced world. For young global citizens, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and digital nomads alike, these insights offer a fresh perspective on the complexities of modern international relations.
