Iranian state news agency Tasnim reports that the indirect negotiations in Geneva, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, remain suspended. According to the report, Iran's delegation refused to return to the table after what it called Trump's 'threatening and offensive statements,' demanding the release of frozen assets and the removal of oil export restrictions, and insisting the US fulfill its commitments before any discussion on the nuclear file.
Iran's state news agency Tasnim reported early Monday that the Geneva talks between Iran and the United States—mediated by Qatar and Pakistan—are still suspended. The report states that the Iranian delegation refused to return to the negotiating table after what Tehran characterized as 'threatening and offensive statements' by President Trump. Iran is demanding the unfreezing of its assets and the lifting of restrictions on its oil exports, and has made clear it will not begin nuclear discussions until the US fulfills its commitments.
As The Zioneer reported at 00:10 Jerusalem, Iran had earlier conditioned the resumption of talks on a US apology and an IDF withdrawal from southern Lebanon. The suspension also follows a thread our archive has tracked since June 9: the talks in Switzerland have stalled multiple times over Trump's threats and Tehran's maximalist demands. Sunday evening, an Iranian source told Reuters the talks were suspended but not terminated; today's Tasnim report confirms continuing suspension and frames Iran's conditions as unchanged.
The report is attributed to Tasnim, a state-affiliated outlet, and has not yet been corroborated by independent or Western sources. The status of diplomatic channels between Washington and Tehran remains unclear, with both sides publicly signaling hardened positions.
