Negotiations with the US are only possible if some things change, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said today, quoted by Iranian state media.
Washington is awaiting a response to its invitation to negotiate a new nuclear deal with Iran, Reuters notes.
Earlier this month, the Islamic Republic's leadership received a letter from US President Donald Trump, giving Iran two months to decide whether to start new talks or face even tougher sanctions in line with Trump's concept of maximum pressure on Tehran.
Although Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected the offer of talks, Iran's foreign minister said on Thursday that Tehran would soon respond to Trump's letter.
