Tehran: Negotiations between Iran and the United States are conceivable, but not under pressure from Washington, Iranian President Hassan Rowhani said at a press conference on Sunday.
“As soon as the US returns to the nuclear deal and lifts the sanctions, then negotiations will once again be possible,” said Rouhani. He noted that multiple differences between the two countries had been overcome during the initial round of negotiations that led to the 2015 nuclear deal, meaning there is no reason talks could not resume in the future. But he said Washington will have to change its attitude first.
