Iran Says Talks Matter, but Trust Is Low
Iran’s president says diplomacy should continue, but he does not trust the United States.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on April 20, 2026 that diplomacy is still important.
But he also said Iran must stay careful and should not trust the United States too easily.
Reuters said his comments came while a two-week ceasefire was close to ending and new talks were expected in Pakistan.
Iranian media also said Tehran had not decided to send a delegation for another round of talks.
Tension remains high because both sides accuse each other of breaking the ceasefire. There is also conflict over shipping and control in the Strait of Hormuz.
The message from Iran was clear: talks are still possible, but the political atmosphere is tense and full of suspicion.
