BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 13. Iran will decide on its relations with the United States in line with its own national interests, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated at a press conference held in Tehran on October 13, Trend reports.
Baghaei noted that Iran may, in the future, take a rational decision on diplomacy and negotiations with any party if such engagement aligns with the country’s interests and yields tangible results for its leadership.
“However, Iran has had very bitter experiences with the United States, especially in recent months, as the U.S. and Israel have carried out military attacks against our country,” he said.
