Iran's foreign minister says negotiations with US no longer on agenda
KABUL (Afghan Verified) -- Iran's Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi stated that negotiations with the United States are no longer on the Islamic Republic's agenda, citing a "very bitter" experience from past talks.
In an interview with PBS, Araghchi recalled that during the last round of negotiations on Iran's nuclear program in February, the Americans promised no intention to attack but proceeded anyway. "I don't think negotiations with America are on Iran's agenda anymore," he said.
Araghchi noted it is too early for Iran's new leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not yet issued a public statement in his new role, to comment on talks with the US. "We are all waiting for his speeches and opinions that will be published later; but I don't think the issue of negotiations with the Americans or re-negotiations with the Americans is raised, because we have a very bitter experience from negotiating with the Americans," he added.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has described the war with Iran as a "short-term excursion" and said it "will end very soon."
