"We will NOT engage in negotiations under pressure or intimidation. We will NOT even consider it, regardless of the topic. Negotiation is about dialogue, not bullying or issuing ultimatums," Iranian Foreign Minister posted on Platform X.
He further stated that Iran was in discussions with the E3, as well as separately with Russia and China, regarding nuclear matters. "The goal is to find ways to build greater trust and transparency in our nuclear energy program in exchange for the removal of unlawful sanctions," Araghchi added.
Araghchi also noted that the administration of President Masoud Pezeshkian was focused on strengthening ties with regional and neighboring countries. Gargash emphasized the significance of maintaining strong relations and continuous dialogue between the UAE and Iran to promote shared interests. He further stated that Abu Dhabi was ready to enhance cooperation with Tehran across various sectors.
