Iran’s foreign ministry says Tehran still has “deep mistrust” of the United States despite an agreed framework intended to end the war. Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei makes the remarks in a weekly press briefing, while characterizing the framework as only an initial measure. He says the framework is a step toward easing tensions but does not by itself address the broader lack of trust between the two countries. In reporting from Tehran, the foreign ministry frames the mistrust as rooted in what it describes as a long history of wrongdoing by American leaders. Other coverage similarly describes Baqaei’s position that the agreement reduces tensions only gradually and is not sufficient to build confidence. The statements reflect Iran’s stance that future steps beyond the framework are needed to change perceptions and improve relations. The outlets do not provide new details of the framework’s terms, focusing instead on Iran’s assessment of the US relationship and the limited nature of the deal’s impact on tensions.
