TREE NEWS update: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran “no longer trusts negotiations with Washington,” citing repeated US attacks and sanctions after each round of talks. Qatar and Pakistan are currently mediating between Iran and the United States, relaying Tehran’s messages to Washington. Pezeshkian said the talks rest on a previously signed memorandum of understanding and that the US must clarify its position on it, while blaming Washington for the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and saying the crisis can be resolved through negotiation rather than force.
Iran’s President Says Tehran No Longer Trusts Talks With Washington
AI take
The significance here is less the rhetoric than the mechanism: with direct trust gone, Qatar and Pakistan are carrying messages, which keeps a channel open but shifts diplomacy to intermediaries whose interests may not align with either capital. For energy and shipping markets, the Strait of Hormuz reference is the operative risk signal, though Pezeshkian frames it as resolvable through talks rather than force. The open question is whether Washington clarifies its position on the referenced memorandum — without that, mediation has little to anchor on.
