Speaking at a press conference in Tehran, Baghaei stated that Washington had failed to demonstrate seriousness in advancing diplomacy and accused it of violating the ceasefire through aggressive actions.
“We have full confidence in our capabilities and do not trust the United States,” he said, adding that talks were not possible under the current circumstances.
The spokesperson noted that discussions had already been held on a 10-point proposal presented during talks in Islamabad, but alleged that the US had breached both the negotiation process and ceasefire commitments.
Baghaei also accused the US of imposing a naval blockade and targeting an Iranian vessel, calling it a violation of international law. He claimed that recent strikes had damaged civilian infrastructure in Iran.
Referring to the Strait of Hormuz, he said it had remained secure prior to US and Israeli actions, and warned that continued policies by Washington would hinder any improvement in outcomes.
He further alleged that Iran had informed Pakistan about ceasefire violations from the outset and criticized the US for making what he described as baseless accusations instead of engaging constructively.
