Iran’s foreign minister said his country will enter direct US talks if Washington ends “pressure and threats” against the Islamic Republic, the latest in a series of exchanges with President Donald Trump on the prospects of a fresh nuclear deal.
Abbas Araghchi, a former negotiator on Iran’s long-running stand-off with Western governments over its atomic activities, made the comments in an interview published in the state-run Iran newspaper on Thursday. He said indirect talks over Tehran’s nuclear program using a European channel involving the UK, Germany and France are ongoing.
