Iran's top diplomat says lack of trust impeding end to U.S. war

Iran's foreign minister said Friday that a lack of trust is the biggest obstacle blocking negotiations to end the ongoing war with the U.S., noting that Tehran would welcome diplomatic assistance from China to ease tensions. Abbas Araghchi stated that contradictory messages from the U.S. have made Iranian leadership reluctant about American intentions and skeptical of their seriousness in peace efforts. The comments suggest diplomatic channels remain open despite military escalation.
