Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said that Iran and the United States reached mutual understanding on a number of issues, but disagreements remained on two to three key points, Fars reports.

“In the end, the talks did not lead to an agreement. We must continue to use the tools at our disposal to protect the interests of the Iranian people. From the outset, it was unrealistic to expect that we would reach an agreement in a single meeting.

This time, some new issues were added to the negotiations, such as the Strait of Hormuz and regional matters. Contacts and consultations between Iran, Pakistan, and other friends in the region will continue,” he noted.
