Iran open to talks but without pressure: FM Araqchi
Reminding the Western governments about the futility of sanctions, the foreign minister stated that they cannot impose their will on Iran by resorting to sanctions.
Iran has always favored dialogue and has never bowed out of constructive negotiations for developing a mutual understanding to resolve the differences, Araqchi said, noting that Iran is still ready for talks on the basis of mutual respect, not threats and pressures.
He slammed the sanctions as a failed tool for confrontation and exerting pressure, not for cooperation.
It is really surprising that the Western governments still resort to the failed experience of sanctions, the foreign minister added, advising them to reverse their course.
