Iran will not be ready to negotiate with the United States until after a “ceasefire in the economic war” launched by the US government against Iran, an Iranian official said.
“The United States wants negotiations, but we are in an economic war, and starting negotiations requires a ceasefire,” the official told Reuters.
The Iranian official revealed some of the conditions offered by the Islamic Republic in return for negotiations with the United States, adding that the first phase of the economic truce must be to ensure the ability of his country to sell its oil and get the proceeds.
“The Europeans should buy oil from us or give us money, and we must return to the level of export that was before the re-imposition of US sanctions.”
