TEHRAN- Alfred de Zayas has blamed the United States for the failure of recent negotiations with Iran, while calling on the international community to take a firmer stance against Washington’s policies.

In a series of posts on X, the former UN independent expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order sharply criticized US conduct in the talks held in Islamabad, describing Washington as unwilling to engage in good-faith negotiations.

He argued that the breakdown of the Pakistan talks was the direct result of what he characterized as the United States’ pattern of imposing unilateral demands rather than pursuing mutual compromise. According to de Zayas, Washington is “not interested in quid pro quo, but only in imparting commands.”

The former UN expert also urged the international community, including Persian Gulf states, to recognize the United States and Israel as the primary aggressors in the ongoing tensions, stating that regional countries are bearing the consequences of 'an unprovoked attack' on Iran.

In his remarks, de Zayas further expressed skepticism about US and Israeli commitments, asserting that both countries have a record of failing to uphold agreements or reinterpreting them unilaterally to their advantage, undermining trust at the international level.

Additionally, he made controversial remarks regarding domestic US politics, calling for constitutional measures to remove the American president and accusing Washington of prioritizing Israeli interests over its own, at significant human and financial cost.

The remarks come after talks held in Islamabad between Iranian and US officials ended without agreement.
