Pezeshkian։ "Tehran is ready to negotiate with the United States on equal terms"

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said Tehran is ready to negotiate with the United States on equal terms, not under threats.

"If you want negotiations, what is the point of making threats? Today, Washington is humiliating not only Iran, but the whole world. This behavior contradicts the call for negotiations," Pezeshkian said.

Washington had earlier warned that the US administration would take measures if Tehran refused to negotiate over its nuclear program. The State Department once again emphasized that Iran should never have nuclear weapons.

Tehran called on Washington to choose the diplomatic path, emphasizing that a military solution to the current problems is unacceptable.
