Iran-US talks
Iran reaffirms its stance that negotiations with Washington will proceed only through indirect channels, ruling out any direct talks. Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi says the US trying to impose its will through pressure and coercion is not called negotiation but rather an act of dictation. Araghchi emphasized that Tehran views indirect channels as a better means of ensuring effective and fruitful negotiations. The minister noted that if the other party demonstrates genuine will, an agreement will be in reach. He also dismissed as baseless reports suggesting that initial indirect negotiations might eventually turn into direct talks. The comments came after US president Donald Trump claimed that Tehran and Washington would hold direct talks on Iran's nuclear program. Meanwhile, China has reacted to the announcement.
