Reciprocity, not threats: Iran draws a red line for Trump as direct Doha talks remain uncertain?

Published on Jun 30, 2026 01:56 pm IST

Iran has drawn a firm red line as uncertainty continues over possible U.S.-Iran talks in Doha. While President Donald Trump hinted that negotiations could resume, Tehran insists there will be no direct talks until Washington fully honors the existing memorandum of understanding. President Masoud Pezeshkian says any agreement must be based on mutual respect and reciprocity, not threats or pressure. Iranian officials maintain diplomacy remains possible, but only if the United States follows through on its commitments. Is the peace process slowing down, or is this a strategic pause before the next phase?
