Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said Friday the United States had been sending "contradictory statements, and excessive irrational rhetoric" that have hindered progress in negotiations to end the war. Aragchi on Friday said a lack of trust remained the main obstacle in Iran’s dealings with the U.S., but pointed out the "willingness" of the Washington to continue talks. He added that negotiations would move forward if the U.S. was ready for a “fair and balanced deal.” U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this week dismissed Iran's latest formal proposal as “garbage.” While Iran was said to include some nuclear concessions, Trump has said he wants to remove highly enriched uranium from the country and prevent it from developing nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
