The chairman of Iran’s parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy, Ibrahim Azizi, has said that ongoing distrust and the current US approach could make peace negotiations between the two countries impossible.

Speaking in an interview with a US media outlet, Azizi said Iran does not trust the United States and believes that recent statements and actions from Washington do not reflect sincerity in diplomatic engagement. He said Iran views negotiations as part of a broader strategic context rather than a standalone process aimed at peace.
Azizi added that if the United States demonstrates seriousness and adheres to agreed principles, Iran would have no objection to engaging in talks. However, he stressed that current conditions do not show a workable framework for meaningful dialogue.

He pointed to the issue of frozen Iranian assets as an example of what he described as lack of seriousness in negotiations. According to him, unresolved financial disputes and policy inconsistencies have continued to hinder progress between the two sides.
The Iranian official also clarified that no negotiations are currently taking place on uranium enrichment or nuclear-related matters at this stage, suggesting that such issues are not part of the immediate diplomatic agenda.
Regarding the possibility of a broader peace agreement between Iran and the United States, Azizi said any progress would depend entirely on the behaviour and approach of the other side. He warned that if the current US stance continues, the answer to advancing peace talks would remain negative.
He further emphasised that without trust, sustained negotiations are not possible, and without continuity in dialogue, achieving any concrete outcome becomes unlikely.

Azizi also linked diplomatic progress to Iran’s broader regional interests, stating that any meaningful negotiations would require attention to economic concerns and regional issues, including developments in Lebanon. He said Iran would not retreat from its positions regarding what he described as the resistance front and its allies in the region.
