Shafaq News/ Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday that Iranis open to listening to US President Donald Trump’s offers for new negotiationsover the nuclear deal.
Inan interview with Sky News, Araghchi responded to Trump’s comment that "anew deal with Iran would be great," calling it "insufficient."He explained that, given the collapse of the 2015 nuclear agreement after theUS withdrew under Trump’s "maximum pressure" campaign, convincingIran to begin new negotiations would take much longer than before. He stressedthat current circumstances make it "more difficult than before" toengage Tehran in talks. "There is a lot the other side must do to earn ourtrust... we have only heard good words, and clearly, that is not enough,"he said, noting that Iran "will not necessarily oppose all of the USoffers."
Moreover,Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi discussed on Monday the"interaction and consultation with friends" regarding Trump’sadministration, saying Tehran has ideas but must be ready for "theworst-case scenarios." He added in an interview with ISNA news agency,"When the policies of the other party are announced, we will actaccordingly."
Onanother note, sources close to President Trump, suggested the possibility of areturn to the "maximum pressure" policy against Tehran, and even amilitary strike on Iran’s nuclear sites.
Regardingthe potential targeting of Iran’s nuclear facilities, Araghchi told Sky News,"Israel and the United States will not take such a step, they would be‘crazy’ to do that, and if they make this mistake, they will receive a swift anddecisive response that will lead to a disaster in the Middle East."
Araghchialso mocked Trump for suggesting the "cleansing" of Gaza ofPalestinians, a comment that sparked widespread outrage. Trump had recentlysaid, "We will have to get rid of the Palestinians in Gaza," drawingcondemnation across the region. In response, Araghchi suggested sendingIsraelis to Greenland instead.
