Iran Accuses US Of Imposing Demands, Foreign Minister Says Talks Are "Not Conventional"

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei has described ongoing negotiations with the United States as “not conventional,” accusing Washington of trying to impose its maximum demands throughout the diplomatic process. Speaking in an interview aired Thursday, Baghaei said the talks carry a “very bloody background,” reflecting the deep tensions between the two nations. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump said he was “not satisfied” with Iran’s latest proposal aimed at ending the conflict, rejecting the plan shortly after it was delivered, though he did not specify the shortcomings. Despite a fragile three-week ceasefire largely holding, both sides continue to accuse each other of violations. The standoff has now extended to the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil transit routes, with major implications for global energy markets and economic stability.
