Iran will not submit to dishonorable negotiations
In a message on the social media platform X on Saturday, Mohajerani said that the government would continue holding talks with European countries, adding, “In circumstances where negotiations are dishonorable, Iran will not give in to them.”
It seemed to be a reference to direct talks with the administration of US President Donald Trump, who, since taking office on January 20, has expressed a desire to “make a deal” with Iran, only to sign a presidential memo this week restoring his “maximum pressure” campaign against the country.
Trump originally launched the policy during his first term in office after pulling the United States out of a landmark nuclear deal with Iran and re-imposing tough economic sanctions on the country.
In remarks on Friday, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said that experience has shown that negotiating with the US is neither “wise” nor “honorable.”
