Tehran says the future US president will first have to compensate Iran for the damage the US has done to the nation with its departure from the 2015 nuclear deal if he wants to rejoin the multilateral accord.

Iran says it is not going to sell weapons to any country that asks for it, and has its own conditions for arms sales now that the UN Security Council’s restrictions on Tehran’s arms trade are lifted.

Government spokesman Ali Rabiei hails the lifting of the UN arms embargo on Iran as an “achievement,” saying it shows that the country adopted a “correct policy” when it chose to stay in the 2015 nuclear deal following the US pullout.

Tehran says Iran, Turkey and Russia can help settle the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Karabakh.

The Iranian government spokesman warns the United States against making any “strategic mistake” after President Trump threatened Tehran with a huge military attack.

The Iranian administration rejects Trump’s claims that he will strike a deal with Iran only weeks after re-election as a mere ploy to win more votes.

The Iranian government spokesman says South Korea should revise its illegal approaches and release Iran's frozen money amid the spreading deadly coronavirus.

Iran says the Islamic Republic is ready for the worst-case scenario in its current confrontation with the US over Iranian tanker ships delivering oil to Venezuela.

An Iranian government spokesman says funds blocked abroad because of US sanctions are being released.

The Iranian administration dismissed allegations of spreading misinformation following the recent unintentional downing of a Ukrainian passenger plane in Tehran.
