The agency's editor‑in‑chief Kian Abdolrahahi told a TV program that public
concern about negotiations is understandable, driven by two factors: the
'nightmare' of the Iran nuclear deal experience, which altered adversaries'
misperception and shaped an image of a weakened Iran, and the fundamental
untrustworthiness of the United States. He said popular skepticism should be
welcomed rather than dismissed, as it signals Iranians' resolve to resist and
hold firm, and that technical concerns and criticism should be accepted.
