Tehran – hambastegimelli – Commenting on the issue on Monday, Bagahei said that the American side has proposed some plans.
“Some ideas have been put forward by the other side. We have always said this. As the Foreign Minister announced this morning, that the Islamic Republic of Iran has never left the negotiation table.”
“We have been consistent in adhering to diplomacy and negotiation principles for decades, but meaningful negotiations require the acceptance of mutual interests and concerns; not one-sided, one-dimensional negotiations based on dictation. I believe that contradictory statements in this regard will only create ambiguity in approaches,” Baghaei said.
