TEHRAN, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) — A senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said talks between Tehran and Washington can move forward and ensure mutual interests are protected if they are realistic and do not include unreasonable demands.
Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Secretary Ali Shamkhani made the statement in an interview with Qatar's Al Jazeera television channel published on Friday, commenting on the resumption of indirect talks with the United States on Iran's nuclear program, the first round of which took place in Oman on February 6.
A. Shamkhani noted that refraining from actions and steps that could negatively impact the stability and security of West Asia is a logical and rational course for all parties involved. He stated that diplomatic efforts in the region are aimed at reducing tensions and strengthening political solutions.
The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council emphasized that Iran's missile program is one of the country's red lines and is not subject to discussion, warning that Iran will give a "strong, decisive and adequate" response to any potential adventurism against the country.
A. Shamkhani also pointed out that Israel would not be able to attack Iran without US support, and emphasized the country's high level of military readiness, which increases the cost of any miscalculation by potential adversaries.
These statements came against the backdrop of escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington and a buildup of the American military presence in the region, despite recent diplomatic contacts.
