Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says he has instructed the country’s foreign minister to pursue negotiations with the United States, provided they take place in a respectful and threat-free environment.
In a series of posts on his X account on Tuesday, President Pezeshkian said he had instructed Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to respond to a US proposal for talks following requests from “friendly governments in the region.”
“I have instructed my Minister of Foreign Affairs, provided that a suitable environment exists—one free from threats and unreasonable expectations—to pursue fair and equitable negotiations, guided by the principles of dignity, prudence, and expediency,” he wrote.
“These negotiations shall be conducted within the framework of our national interests.”
