Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has stated that maximalism, shifting goalposts and blockades lead to the failure of the Islamabad Talks.
In a post shared on X (former Twitter), Araghchi stated that all this happened just “inches away from ‘Islamabad MoU”.
In intensive talks at highest level in 47 years, Iran engaged with U.S in good faith to end war.
But when just inches away from "Islamabad MoU", we encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade.
Zero lessons earned

Enmity begets enmity.— Seyed Abbas Araghchi (@araghchi) April 12, 2026
