Iran's foreign ministry says 'deep mistrust' in US remains despite deal

Article excerpt

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told reporters on Monday that Tehran harbors "deep mistrust" of the United States, even as both sides have agreed to a framework aimed at ending the war. Baqaei attributed the suspicion to what he called a "long history of wrongdoing by American leaders." The statement underscores the fraught relationship between the two nations as they attempt to move forward on a peace deal, suggesting significant obstacles remain beyond the negotiated agreement itself.
