The Iranian judiciary’s Mizan news agency reports on comments made by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during a phone conversation with Pakistan’s prime minister earlier today.

The report says Pezeshkian alleged bullying and unreasonable behavior by the United States during negotiations and the ceasefire.

Mizan also reports that Pezeshkian warned that the US’s actions and threatening rhetoric have led to increased suspicion among Iranian officials about the seriousness of the United States and the possibility that it will repeat previous patterns and “betray diplomacy.”

The report does not say whether Iran’s president commented on a potential second round of talks in Pakistan, or on Trump’s announcement that US forces had seized an Iranian-flagged ship.
