Iran admits direct talks with US in future on equality basis — foreign minister

Tehran admits the possibility of holding direct talks with Washington on the Iranian nuclear program in the future if the US deals with Iran on an equal footing, the republic’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with Fox News.

"Not for the time being, but maybe in the future," he said when asked whether any direct contacts between the Iranian side and the administration of US President Donald Trump could take place at some point. "Everything depends on whether the United States is ready to deal with Iran on an equal footing, on mutual respect and on mutual interests," the minister added.

Iran is "very skeptical with Americans right now" after the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the Iranian nuclear program "didn't become a successful story, didn't become a successful experience for us," Araghchi said. "This is why we are not ready to engage with them [US administration] directly. But the moment we feel that everything is in a right order, then everything is possible," he stressed.
