Araghchi says US talks are limited to nuclear issue
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran made clear in talks with the United States that discussions were limited strictly to the nuclear issue and could only continue in the absence of threats or pressure.
Speaking to IRNA, Araghchi said Iran told the US that “the subject of our talks is solely nuclear” and that Tehran would not engage Washington on any other matters. He added that Iran stressed negotiations must take place “in a calm environment, without tension and without threats.”
“The prerequisite for any dialogue is refraining from threats and pressure,” Araghchi said, adding that this point was raised “explicitly” and must be respected for talks to move forward.
