- Tehran says four rounds of talks were derailed.
- An Iranian official also discussed a message conveyed to Putin.

## Summary

Iran says it will require practical steps from the United States before entering a new phase of diplomacy, rather than relying on written commitments. Ali Baqeri, deputy secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said Tehran believes Washington derailed previous negotiations, casting doubt on whether another round can begin without action.

Baqeri referred to four rounds of talks over the past 18 months, which Iran says were disrupted by hostile actions and breaches of commitments. He also said a recent visit to Moscow by council secretary Mohsen Rezaei was intended to deliver a message from Iran’s leader to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
