PANews reported on April 12 that, according to Cailian Press, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that from the outset, it should not be expected that an agreement could be reached in one round of negotiations. Several new issues were added to the talks, such as the Strait of Hormuz and regional problems.

Furthermore, the spokesperson stated that the Iran-US negotiations were held "after 40 days of imposed war, and in an atmosphere of distrust and suspicion." These negotiations were the longest in recent years, lasting a total of 24 to 25 hours. Contact and consultations between Iran, Pakistan, and other regional partners will continue.
