In a statement published by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Sayyid Abbas Araghchi said Tehran was ready to lead indirect conversations with Washington.
– Iran is ready for all possible or probable events, and as serious in diplomacy and negotiations, he will also be determined and serious in the defense of their national interests and sovereignty, he said, broadcasts Radio Free Europe.
Trump referred to “direct conversations” with Teheran three days ago, saying that they were “faster” and offer a better understanding of conversations through intermediaries.
The president of the United States, last month, sent a letter to the Supreme Leader of Ayatolah Ali Hamnei, inviting negotiations and warning of military action if he failed.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Saturday that Tehran is ready to engage in dialogue in “equal bases”.
In 2015, Iran achieved a significant agreement with the United States, French, China, Russia and Great Britain, as well as Germany, about reducing its nuclear activity.
Agreement from 2015 – known as a common comprehensive action plan – it mitigated sanctions imposed by the restrictions on the Iranian economy.
However, during the Trump’s first term, the United States withdrew from the agreement and re-introduced criminal sanctions.
Iran rejects the allegations of the West to seek to make nuclear weapons, insisting that his programs are focused on civilian purposes only as electricity production.
