# Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, says American double standards and totalitarianism were the biggest obstacles to an agreement being reached over the weekend. The high-stakes talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, between the US and Iran failed over wide gaps on complex issues ranging from Tehran’s refusal to abandon its nuclear programme to its control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Pezeshkian says they were fully prepared to reach a balanced and fair agreement. He added that if the US adheres to international legal frameworks, reaching an agreement is not far from reach.
