Controversy regarding statements

On June 24, 2026, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei warned that contradictory statements from US officials were deepening the gap of distrust. He clearly said that such things remind of old broken promises. Baqaei stressed that the relationship will move forward only if both sides fulfill their responsibilities. He criticized US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, saying that as long as US interference continues, there cannot be peace in the region.
