DUBAI, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian, in remarks broadcast on state TV on Saturday, blamed the United States for the failure of an interim deal with Iran, but said there should be a new attempt at concluding it.

"We were having negotiations, the cowards (Americans) messed everything up...I still think we should go and conclude it," Pezeshkian said.
