According to an AFP report, Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency and Tasnim News Agency cited anonymous sources indicating that Tehran has not yet decided whether to participate in the talks, emphasizing that "evaluating the overall atmosphere, it cannot be said to be very positive."

Fars News Agency quoted a source saying that the United States lifting the blockade on Iranian ports is a prerequisite for the negotiations.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) pointed out that the US position is "polarized, making unreasonable and unrealistic demands, frequently changing its stance, constantly being contradictory, and continuing the so-called naval blockade," stressing that "under these circumstances, there are no clear signs that the negotiations can achieve fruitful results."
