In any talks the Americans should be ready to negotiate fairly, says Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran favours talks and negotiations and, if the US really wants to talk, before anything else it should lift all sanctions,” Rouhani said in remarks aired live on state television. “All sanctions should be lifted so that there will be no criminals facing us,” he said, accusing the US of committing acts of “economic terrorism” for blocking imports of food and medicine.
At the height of the crisis, US President Donald Trump called off airstrikes against Iran at the last minute in June after the Islamic republic’s forces shot down a US drone“If you want security, if your soldiers want security in the region, then agree to security for security,” he said. “You cannot harm our security and then expect your own security.
Iran has also been locked in a high-seas standoff with US ally Britain since Royal Marines helped to seize a tanker carrying Iranian oil off the British overseas territory of Gibraltar on July 4. Zarif said on Monday that he had turned down the offer despite a threat of being hit with sanctions within two weeks.
