DUBAI - The resignation of White House National Security Adviser John Bolton, a hawk on Iran, will not lead to talks between Washington and Tehran, Iran said on Wednesday .

Last year, the United States pulled out of the nuclear deal, under which Iran agreed to curbs on its atomic programme in return for access to world trade. Washington has since imposed what the administration calls a policy of"maximum pressure", including sanctions aimed at halting all Iranian oil exports.

Trump has suggested he would be willing to hold talks with Iran to reach a new deal. Iran has long said talks are impossible unless Washington lifts its sanctions first. "The departure of US National Security Adviser John Bolton from President Donald Trump's administration will not push Iran to reconsider talking with the US," state news agency IRNA quoted Tehran's United Nations envoy Majid Takhteravanchi as saying.
