Iran Calls US Untrustworthy as Nuclear Talks Stall

Iran's Chief Negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that the United States is untrustworthy, stating that Tehran will not agree to any deal unless its rights are fully secured. This remark comes as nuclear talks stall over a tougher proposal sent back by former U.S.

President Donald Trump. The proposal emphasizes stopping Iran's nuclear weapon development and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which is crucial for global oil supply.

Ghalibaf noted that negotiations are ongoing, but no agreement has been finalized. Iran has also dismissed Trump's comments regarding its uranium stockpile as baseless.

The situation is further complicated by military tensions, including U.S. airstrikes and Iran's Revolutionary Guard shooting down a U.S. military drone. Additionally, Iranian lawmaker Alireza Salimi mentioned plans to manage sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, indicating potential administrative fees to be proposed in parliament.

The UN Security Council is set to hold an emergency meeting to address the escalating conflict in the region.
