He said, however, that the US requirements that Tehran completely give up enriching Urania “joke”.
The sixth round of negotiations between Tehran and Washington was suspended after Israeli and American attacks on Iranian nuclear plants in June.
Both forces accuse Iran to seek nuclear weapons, the allegation that Tehran rejects.
– Iran is ready for negotiations under equal conditions to protect their interests. The attitude of the Islamic Republic is in the direction that the people want and, if appropriate conditions are ready, we are ready even for direct negotiations – said Aref.
The previous rounds of the negotiations, which began in April, were indirect, with the mediation of Oman. Washington states that uranium enrichment in Iran is a way to the development of nuclear weapons and should be interrupted.
On Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian gave a controversial statement in favor of continuing negotiations with the USA regardless of the current level of distrust.
– You don’t want to talk? So what do you want to do then? Do you want to go to war? Going to conversations does not mean that we intend to surrender – he said, adding that such issues should not “access emotionally”.
High Commander of the Iranian Corps Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), responding to Pezeshkian’s comments on Monday, said foreign policy requires discretion and that reckless statements may have serious consequences for the country, reuters reports.
