The ball is in Washington’s court to show its resolve to strike a deal with Tehran, Majid Takht-Ravanchi has said
The US must demonstrate its seriousness about reaching an agreement with Tehran, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi has said, warning that a war would be “bad for everybody.”
In an interview with the BBC published on Sunday, Takht-Ravanchi said recent contacts between Tehran and Washington, including indirect talks in Oman, have shown that the US is seeking to resolve the issues peacefully. He added that the ball is now “in America’s court to prove that they want to make a deal.”
“If [the Americans] are sincere, I’m sure we will be on the road to an agreement,” the senior diplomat said.
Tehran is ready to discuss its nuclear program with the US “provided that they are also ready to talk about sanctions,” he added. “One cannot accept the notion that Iran has to do certain things without the other side committing itself to do their share,” Takht-Ravanchi stressed.
