Tehran to Washington: “Never Hope for Holding Talks with Iran under Shadow of Threats”

Iran said the US should forget about the possibility of holding one-sided negotiations with the Islamic Republic “under the shadow of threats.”

“The Iranian nation has never and will never hesitate a moment to defend the people’s rights and Iran’s territorial integrity and independence in the face of excessive demands, domination and pressures,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Wednesday.

He advised US officials to never hope for the possibility of holding “one-sided negotiations with Iran… under the shadow of threats” in a bid to advance their excessive demands, noting American authorities need to avoid repeating their “failed experience” of the past.
