Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told Al Jazeera that Iran no longer trusts talks with Washington because each round of negotiations was followed by attacks and sanctions, but said Qatar and Pakistan are relaying Tehran's messages and that negotiations rest on the June memorandum, on which "Americans must state their position."
Why it matters
The remarks, released hours before Trump rejected Iran's seven-day plan, show Tehran keeping the Qatari and Pakistani channel open while tying any deal to the June memorandum.
