Iran has shown renewed interest in participating in fresh rounds of negotiations, though deep-rooted mutual distrust continues to pose a major obstacle. According to Al Jazeera, Iran’s foreign minister has been holding phone discussions with various regional and international parties as part of efforts to prepare for the talks.

Despite this diplomatic activity, key issues remain unresolved, and the long-standing atmosphere of mistrust persists. Among ordinary Iranians, reactions are mixed: some hope that dialogue could improve the situation, while others doubt that lasting peace or the complete removal of war threats can be achieved.

Many observers believe that, in the long term, these negotiations could open a path toward lifting sanctions. The country has been heavily affected by a recent 40-day conflict that damaged thousands of residential areas, schools, and infrastructure, placing severe pressure on civilian life.
