US Must Prove Willingness for Talks, Iranian President Says

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The president of Iran called on the US administration to show its genuine interest in holding negotiations, stressing that Tehran will not approve of talks at any price or under humiliating circumstances.

In a meeting with representatives of non-governmental organizations and parties on Monday, President Masoud Pezeshkian said the issue of talks with the US is different from interaction with other countries, because the US has put intense pressure on Iran and issues threats constantly.

“We believe in negotiations, but not abjectly. We hold talks with the whole world and do not have a fight with anybody, but we won’t give in to humiliation either and won’t hold negotiations at any price,” the president added.

Reiterating Iran’s rejection of war, chaos and nuclear weapons, Pezeshkian said, “We are after negotiations, but they (the US) should also prove that they seek negotiations.”

The notion that Iran has no intention of using its nuclear capabilities for non-peaceful purposes is based on a religious decree issued by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, the president also stated.

In comments on Saturday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to the course of diplomacy, saying Tehran will agree to negotiations on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of sanctions.

Araqchi denounced the US for its unilateral withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, though Iran had made a series of voluntary arrangements to give assurances about the peaceful nature of its nuclear activities.

“Having had that experience, we are now prepared for negotiations on our nuclear program and the removal of sanctions on the basis of the logic of trust-building in exchange for the lifting of the cruel sanctions against Iran,” the minister stated.

However, Araqchi deplored the US’ contradictory policy of calling for direct negotiations and threatening to resort to force, which he said violates the UN Charter, saying such conduct is meaningless although Iran is still ready to test the course of indirect talks.

Poll: US Public Support for Israel Wanes as 68 Percent Call for Ceasefire

  TEHRAN (FNA)- Israel’s war on Gaza is upsetting many Americans who think it must follow growing demands for an immediate ceasefire, according to a new poll. The Reuters/Ipsos survey found only 32 percent of respondents said “the US should support Israel”. That is down from 41 percent from a poll conducted on October 12-13 – just days after the war broke out. About 68 percent of respondents said they agreed with the statement, “Israel should call a ceasefire and try to negotiate”. Some 39 percent supported the idea “the US should be a neutral mediator”, compared with 27 percent a month earlier. Only 4 percent of respondents said the United States should support Palestinians, while 15 percent said the US shouldn’t be involved at all in the war. While the US has been a significant Israeli ally, just 31 percent of respondents said they supported sending Israel weapons. The plunge in support...
