Iran will sell oil but not its dignity, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in a reference to talks under the U.S. sanctions and pressures.
"The Iranian nation's dignity is not for sale," the minister noted, referring to Washington offer of talks without lifting its unilateral economic sanctions, the Fars News Agency reported.
Zarif added that Iran does not take "blind action" and does not want a military escalation, although the Persian Gulf countries are participating in the U.S. economic war on Tehran.
