TEHRAN (Sputnik) - Earlier, the Iranian Foreign Ministry reported that Iran will not enter into direct negotiations with the US as long as it continues its policy of maximum pressure.
Tehran, in a response letter to US President Donald Trump, has refused direct talks with Washington over Iran’s nuclear program, expressing readiness to negotiate only through the mediation of third countries, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday.

"Iran has never shied away from negotiations and only the violation of commitments [by Washington] has caused problems on this path, which should certainly be compensated, and trust [in the US] should be restored. It is such behavior of the US that will determine the future path of negotiations," Pezeshkian was quoted as saying by the IRNA news agency.
