The United States must show that they are serious about reaching an agreement with Tehran, said Iranian Deputy abroad Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi, informing that war would be “bad for all”.
In an interview with the BBC published on Sunday, Takht-Ravanchi said that fresh contacts between Tehran and Washington, including indirect talks in Oman, showed that the United States is seeking a peaceful solution to the problems.
He added that the ball is now "on the side of America to prove that it wants to make an agreement".
"If [Americans] are honest, I am certain we will be on our way to an agreement" said a high-ranking diplomat.
Tehran is ready to talk to the US about its atomic program, "provided they are besides ready to talk about sanctions," he added.
"It cannot be accepted that Iran must do certain things without the commitment of the another organization to contribute" – stressed Takht-Ravanchi.
He besides seemed to propose that Tehran succeeded in resolving a key issue in the conflict with the US regarding his atomic program.
U.S. president Donald Trump has repeatedly demanded that Tehran completely abandon this
programme and adopted policy ‘zero enrichment’.
Iran, however, has repeatedly claimed that specified a policy is unacceptable, signaling at the same time its willingness to compromise on the degree of uranium enrichment and suggesting that it may reduce its stocks of fissile materials.
“From our knowing [Americans] have concluded that if they want to make a deal, they must focus on the atomic issue” – said Takht-Ravanchi, adding that "The issue of zero enrichment is no longer a matter, and as far as Iran is concerned, it is no longer under discussion".
However, this claim contradicts Trump's latest statements from Friday erstwhile he told reporters that the US policy proposed remained valid and that "We don't want any enrichment."
