Tehran, October 23 (Xinhua) – Tehran will not return to the negotiating table unless Washington drops its excessive and unreasonable demands. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated this on Wednesday upon his arrival in Mashhad to participate in a conference, the IRNA news agency reported.
He explained the suspension of indirect nuclear talks with Washington, as well as dialogue with the European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal, by the US's persistent "excessive demands." "We have always demonstrated our commitment to diplomatic solutions. However, this does not mean abandoning the rights of the Iranian people," the Foreign Minister added.
A. Araghchi emphasized that it is impossible to resume dialogue “unless the United States changes its approach and recognizes that negotiations must be based on mutual respect and conducted on an equal basis.”
Iran and the United States were preparing for a sixth round of nuclear talks when Israel launched a surprise airstrike on several sites in the Islamic Republic, including nuclear and military facilities, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians. On June 22, the US military joined the attacks, targeting Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.
