Former Iranian diplomat warns Tehran and Washington 'trapped in slogans' amid nuclear deal uncertainty

A former Iranian diplomat has warned that both Tehran and Washington are trapped by domestic political commitments that may prevent a nuclear deal, as the second round of talks between Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and US Vice President JD Vance failed to take place in Islamabad. Kourosh Ahmadi said Iran should continue negotiations despite obstacles, while warning that hardliners invoking religious narratives should not be taken literally.
