Iran: Direct negotiations with the US under appropriate conditions may be possible

The first vice president of Iran says direct talks with the United States under "appropriate conditions" may be possible, adding that Iran has not been enriching uranium and "Zero enrichment is a big joke."

Mohammad Reza Aref on Tuesday, August 6, referring to Tehran's nuclear talks with the United States in recent months, saying that "the behavior of the Islamic Republic in the negotiations is in the way people want."

Tehran and Washington held five rounds of negotiations to reach an agreement on Iran's nuclear case before the June and July attacks of Israel and the United States on Iran, but the sixth round of talks stopped following the six -day war.

Both countries accused Iran of trying to obtain nuclear weapons, but Tehran has denied the claim.

In his remarks, Mr. Aref stated that "if the conditions are appropriate can be done with direct negotiations", "We have to see how much the countries that negotiated with the US could achieve the benefits."

The previous round of talks between Iran and Washington was "indirect" and Oman played a mediator between the two countries.

While US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to invade uranium if Iran will resume enrichment, the United States will continue to insist on pursuing uranium enrichment.

However, Iranian President Massoud Medesian said on the 5th of August, referring to the US invasion of three Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan nuclear facilities: "Well, he came and hit; Let's go now, and it comes again. "

He said to the opposition, "What if you don't talk? Do you want to fight? "

Meanwhile, Aziz Ghazanfari, a deputy of the Revolutionary Guards, has responded to Mr. Medical's statements in a note published by the IRGC's "Insight" website, saying that "the field of foreign policy is not a place to express any reality."

"The risks of expressing false phrases by senior government officials, most of all, are in the field of governments themselves, making it difficult for them to work in a very complex and breathtaking field of foreign politics and even domestic politics," he added.

According to Ghazanfari, "unfortunately the president's verbal mistakes, especially in the midst of important and decisive events, have increased and sometimes caused damage to the national security."
