Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson says Iran has not had any direct negotiations with America; messages from intermediaries discussed; did not partake in Pakistan-led meetings, Tasnim reports; says US demand were excessive.
Full post:
- "First, we have not had any direct negotiations with America. What has been discussed are the messages we received through intermediaries that the US wants to negotiate.
- I don't know how many people in America take the claims of American diplomacy seriously! Our task is clear, unlike the other side, which keeps changing its position.
- Iran's position has been clear from the beginning, and we know very well what the framework is.
- The materials that were conveyed to us were excessive and unreasonable requests.
- The meetings held by Pakistan are a framework that they established and we did not participate. It is good that the countries of the region are concerned about the end of the war, but they should be aware of which side started the war."
Context
