Iran asserts that communication lines with the USA remain open, emphasizing the importance of negotiations based on mutual respect, not on "dictation".

The spokesperson of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmaeil Baghaei, stated that Iran keeps open lines of communication with the United States and Switzerland, which acts as an intermediary. This statement came in response to comments from American President Donald Trump, who mentioned that Iran had requested negotiations regarding its nuclear program. Baghaei emphasized that discussions must be based on the acceptance of mutual interests, rejecting any form of unilateral negotiation. He also characterized the situation in Iran as a "terrorist war against the Iranian people," accusing external influences, especially from the USA and Israel. Iran expresses its openness to negotiations, but on the condition of mutual respect and dignity.
