From Tehran to Washington: "We want action, not words anymore"

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Deputy Secretary Ali Bakıri said Tehran will not return to negotiations on the basis of paper promises alone, accusing Washington of failing to honor past commitments and demanding concrete action instead. The statement signals that diplomacy between the two sides remains stalled, with Iran tying any talks to verifiable U.S. steps rather than verbal assurances. It matters because nuclear negotiations and any easing of sanctions hinge on whether Washington offers measures Tehran considers tangible. What to watch next is whether the U.S. responds with specific policy moves, such as sanctions relief, that could bring Iran back to the table.
