Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, May 5 (Reporter Chen Xiao, Shadati) According to a report by Iran's News TV on May 5, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei stated regarding the current Iran-U.S. negotiation process that Iran has decided not to waste time on issues that are difficult to reach an agreement on. The current priority is to focus on ending the war and urging the U.S. side to "demonstrate goodwill" on diplomatic issues.

Baghaei stated that Iran is negotiating in an atmosphere of "deep distrust and suspicion" towards the U.S., and cannot forget the baseless aggression the U.S. imposed on Iran in June last year and on February 28 this year, emphasizing that Iran must maintain "high vigilance" throughout the diplomatic process.

Baghaei stated that Iran has decided not to waste time on issues that have previously proven to be extremely complex and difficult to reach an agreement on.

He said, "If the Americans are truly serious about diplomacy, they must seize this opportunity, as the whole world is waiting for them to at least show goodwill."
