Head of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security Committee Ebrahim Azizi commented on the prospect of talks with the United States.
The lawmaker, who is a former IRGC commander, said Iran has decided to continue talks with the U.S., but this “does not mean to negotiate at any cost” and to accept any “approach the other party practises”.
Iran has set red lines, and these “must be observed”, the lawmaker said.
When asked whether Iran will send a team to Islamabad, he suggested that it depends on whether Tehran receives positive signs.
“We have never feared the principle of negotiation. Perhaps today or tomorrow, with further assessment, we consider it likely, providing that the American negotiating team and the messages they have received from Iran give a positive signal,” Azizi said.
