Iran’s Araghchi: US treated nuclear negotiations ‘like a real estate’ deal
Shafaq News- Tehran
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Wednesday criticized the United States’ approach to nuclear negotiations, arguing that treating them “like a real estate transaction” makes meaningful progress impossible.
On X, Araghchi wrote that when complex nuclear talks are handled in that manner and misinformation clouds the process, “unrealistic expectations” emerge, adding, “The outcome? Bombing the negotiation table out of spite.” He also accused US President Donald Trump of abandoning diplomacy and betraying the American voters who elected him.
When complex nuclear negotiations are treated like a real estate transaction, and when big lies cloud realities, unrealistic expectations can never be met. The outcome? Bombing the negotiation table out of spite. Mr. Trump betrayed diplomacy and Americans who elected him.
