Talks with the United States are no longer possible unless certain things change, Iranian state media reported Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi as saying on Sunday as Washington awaits a response to its invitation for talks on a new nuclear deal.

Iran says it would consider negotiations with the United States if talks were confined to concerns about the militarization of the country’s nuclear program.

Iran has set a condition for negotiations with the United States regarding the nuclear deal. Negotiations will be impossible unless Washington changes its policy of pressure, reports Reuters, citing Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

Talks with the U.S. are impossible unless Washington changes its pressure policy, the Iranian foreign minister said on Sunday, as Iran prepares to respond to President Donald Trump's letter proposing negotiations on a new nuclear deal.

China and Russia are both permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, along with France and Britain, that took part in the original 2015 Iran nuclear deal preliminary framework agreement. Trump withdrew America from the accord in 2018, setting in motion years of tensions in the wider Middle East.
