Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad-Reza Aref has said that under favorable conditions, nuclear negotiations with the United States can be held directly.
Aref told reporters that Iran is ready to negotiate under equal conditions as negotiation is for safeguarding both parties’ interests.
Aref noted that Iran is in no way opposed to negotiations, but will not subscribe to negotiations that only impose the intentions of the United States. Certain Western countries have falsely turned Iran’s nuclear issue into a political project, Aref said.
On June 13, two days prior to the sixth round of indirect nuclear talks between Iran and the United States, Israel launched major airstrikes on several areas in Iran, including nuclear and military sites, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists and many civilians.
Iran responded with multiple waves of missile and drone attacks on Israel.
On June 22, US forces bombed the three Iranian nuclear facilities of Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.
In retaliation, Iran struck the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Following the 12-day war, a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was achieved on June 24.
