According to Iranian media reports in the early morning of May 1, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagae said while attending a TV program that it is unrealistic to expect negotiations between Iran and the US to reach a quick outcome. Bagae said that in the 47 years since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Iran has accumulated deep distrust and doubt about the actions of the US side. He stressed that negotiations should not be expected to reach results in a short time; “after all, this is an extremely bloody war.” He pointed out that the US and Israel are “extremely cruel”, as evidenced by the conflict in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon over the past two and a half years. “Under these circumstances, no matter who the mediator is, it is unrealistic to expect an agreement to be reached in a short time,” Bagae said.
