Iran Not Immediately Interested in Talks with US, Says Foreign Minister
Tehran. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran is not immediately interested in talks with the US, overriding US President Donald Trump's stance.
Araghchi said in an interview with CBS's 'Face the Nation' broadcast on Sunday, "We see no reason to talk to the Americans because while we were talking to them, they decided to attack us. Now we are stable and strong. We are just defending our people."
He clearly stated, "There is no good experience talking to the Americans." Trump had stated on Saturday that the US wanted a deal with Iran but was not ready to make a deal under the current conditions.
"We have never asked for a ceasefire and we have never asked for talks," Araghchi said.
He added, "Iran is ready to negotiate with those countries that want to negotiate the passage of selected oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz export route."
"I cannot mention any specific country, but many countries have contacted us who want a safe passage for their ships," he said.
