Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, has stated that the path to negotiations with the United States remains open, despite ongoing diplomatic stagnation.

In a post on X, Larijani emphasized that “the path to negotiations with the United States is not closed,” stressing that Iran "pursues rational negotiations.”

Larijani also criticized Washington’s conduct, stating that “these are the Americans who only pay lip service to talks and do not come to the table; and they wrongfully blame Iran for it.”

The senior Iranian official further expanded, reiterating that Washington is making demands that undermine the negotiation process from the outset.

He noted that the United States raises issues that it knows in advance cannot be achieved, such as restrictions on Iran's missile capabilities, adding that the model presented by America, which raises "unrealizable issues such as missile restrictions... negates any talks."

The remarks come as both countries continue to signal differing expectations on potential nuclear negotiations and broader diplomatic engagement. Iran has consistently rejected Western attempts to curtail its missile program, framing it as a matter of national defense and sovereignty. The matter also applies to negotiations with the European Troika, which has recently triggered snapback sanctions on Iran's nuclear program.

Following the announcement by the E3, Iran’s Parliament has drafted and submitted an emergency bill proposing a full withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). 

Hossein-Ali Haji-Deligani, Deputy Chairman of the Article 90 Committee of Iran’s Parliament, confirmed that the bill will be uploaded to the parliamentary system on the following day and subsequently reviewed in an open session.

Criticizing continued dialogue with Western countries, Haji-Deligani asserted, “Given what these three countries have done, negotiations with them are now meaningless. Dialogue will only embolden them."

“We witnessed that during negotiations with the arrogant US, a brutal war was launched against our country by Israel, and the US bombed our peaceful nuclear sites,” he added. “Our people clearly know that talks with these countries have brought nothing but more pressure. Therefore, all dialogue must be suspended until these countries abandon their double standards.”
