Iran Says Door to US Talks Not Closed, Policy Based on National Interests
Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson stated on Monday that Tehran pursues war and diplomacy based on its national interests, and indicated that the door to talks with the United States is not necessarily closed.
Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei Hamaneh made the remarks during the European trading session on Monday. When asked whether the door to negotiations with the United States was now shut, he said Tehran's approach to war and diplomacy is guided by its national interests.
The statement comes amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the US, though no specific developments were cited. Baghaei did not elaborate on what conditions might lead to renewed talks.
The remarks were originally reported by Reuters.
