American Deputy Special Envoy for Middle East Affairs: The U.S. is willing to negotiate with Iran

SSC, United Nations - Deputy Special Envoy for Middle East Affairs of the U.S. President, Otaghs, stated that the U.S. is willing to hold direct talks with Iran and called on Tehran to accept the "diplomatic hand".

Otaghs said at a UN Security Council meeting: "The U.S. still wishes to hold formal negotiations with Iran, but the premise is that Tehran is prepared for direct and substantive dialogue."

Otaghs pointed out that the U.S. fundamentally opposes Iran's uranium enrichment activities, and the negotiations should be conducted confidentially.

Otaghs said: "During two terms in office, President Trump extended a diplomatic hand to Iran. But instead of accepting this diplomatic hand, you have continued to reach for the flame. Stay away from the flame, gentlemen, accept the diplomatic hand that President Trump has extended to you."
