Araghchi: Iran never left negotiating table

Araghchi said that Iran has never left the negotiating table, because diplomacy is an integral part of the Iranian approach and principles.

He said that it is the United States that must return to diplomacy with the Islamic Republic by regaining its trust.

Araghchi reiterated that the door to negotiations and mediations is always open and this possibility exists at any time, provided that the rules are followed.

He said that the first principle of diplomacy and negotiation is that two parties come to the negotiating table with the real intention of a fair and equal exchange, adding that but if the goal of one of the parties is to impose its demands, such negotiations will not take place and will be fruitless.

He pointed out that the main cause of the problem in Iran-US relations, which is preventing the start of negotiations at the moment, is the US approach based on imposing its demands and excessive demands, saying that unfortunately, Iran has seen this behavior many times in its interactions with the US.
