Iran has made it clear that there is no room for dialogue between Tehran and Washington on the nuclear issue. Relations between the two countries have been tense for a long time, especially since US sanctions and international concerns over Iran’s nuclear program have complicated the situation. Iran says that there will be no atmosphere for talks until the US abandons its “hostile policies” and stops applying pressure such as sanctions. As a result, multilateral diplomatic efforts have also faced new challenges.

Washington has long been pressuring Iran to limit its nuclear enrichment. The US believes that Iran’s program can be used for military purposes, although Tehran has repeatedly claimed that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful. The situation became even more heated after the US withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA) and Iran gradually began to limit the terms of the agreement. As a result, the wall of mistrust between the two countries has become even higher, which has now reduced the possibility of dialogue to virtually zero.

The implications for the international arena are also clear. The balance of Middle Eastern security, global energy markets, and regional diplomacy has already been destabilized by the Iran-US tensions. Experts believe that if the path to dialogue is blocked, there is a risk of military escalation and a permanent solution to the nuclear issue will be delayed. Tehran’s latest announcement shows that the two countries still have a long way to go before normalization of relations occurs, and its impact on the future politics of the Middle East could be far-reaching.
