According to Ebrahim Azizi, Iran will continue prioritizing cooperation with partner nations while pursuing policies aimed at safeguarding its national interests and expanding strategic relations.
Azizi also described recent consultations between Iran and Pakistan as constructive and important. Commenting on ongoing nuclear-related discussions, he stated that the transfer of enriched uranium has not been part of the current negotiations and remains outside the scope of Iran’s contacts with the United States.
Meanwhile, Mohsen Rezaei criticized the United States over its approach to negotiations, accusing Washington of undermining diplomatic efforts.
Rezaei said the United States continues to maintain a naval blockade and has made excessive demands during talks. He argued that such pressure tactics weaken trust and are inconsistent with meaningful diplomatic engagement.
Iranian officials reiterated that the country will continue pursuing policies designed to protect its strategic interests while deepening cooperation with major international partners, particularly China and Russia.
