Iran says trust in U.S. diplomacy is gone. Officials claim they were tricked twice during negotiations. Vessel traffic in Hormuz is reportedly rising slightly.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson describing nuclear talks as a “betrayal of diplomacy” and saying attacks happened during negotiations shows a position built on past incidents they interpret as violations of trust. Their claim that they were tricked twice and now cannot trust U.S. diplomacy explains why they publicly reject further confidence in negotiations and frame the entire process as compromised. That statement reflects Iran’s official stance and grievance rather than independently verified proof of coordinated actions during talks, but it still drives their current posture and messaging.
