Iran not to enter bilateral talks with US: Spokesman

Tehran, Aug 10, IRNA – Iran will not enter bilateral talks with the US and no one has so far said so, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry Ramin Mehman-Parast said Tuesday.

He made the remarks responding to a question by an IRNA reporter about Tehran’s prerequisites for holding any talks with Washington after US officials have repeatedly requested for talks with their Iranian counterparts.

“The topics to be discussed with America are related to the international crises, existing problems and finding the roots and resolutions of these crises,” Mehman-Parast said during his weekly press conference.

He added that policies adopted by the US and a number of Western states were the root causes of the existing crises worldwide.

“Iran’s logic which is to present solutions for the existing crises, can be announced for the world public opinion at any time,” the spokesman stressed.

Voicing Tehran’s readiness to talk about the logic behind its performance, Mehman-Parast said “We would discuss our own logic in front of the world public opinion to see who has a strong logic for his policies; the Western states and US or world’s independent and free states.”/end
