Abbas Araghchi said negotiations between Iran and the United States came very close to success before suddenly breaking down, describing the agreement as nearly finalised.
According to the statement made by Iran's Foreign Minister, both sides had made significant progress during high-level discussions in Islamabad, which were among the most serious diplomatic engagements between the two countries in decades, per NDTV. But the American side showed 'maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade,' according to Araghchi.
