On April 17th, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Bagae posted on social media that moving the goal during football matches is a professional mistake and an unfair action. But in the field of diplomacy, such a move may bring destruction to any beginning, and it may be seen as lacking seriousness and sincerity. In response to Bagai’s social media article, Iran’s official Izumi News Agency commented that in the past few hours, US officials have undergone a “nearly 180 degree shift” in their stance on indirect negotiations between the US and Iran. Iran believes that its statements have made fundamental mistakes, and these remarks will be seen as a manifestation of the United States’ lack of goodwill and seriousness in negotiations.
