Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said in an interview with Al Jazeera that Tehran has no desire to continue the war with the US, but that the ball is in Washington’s court for peace talks.
Ghalibaf said that Iran provided the US with a clear and transparent response outlining its demands, but the Trump administration has not yet responded.
An agreement with Washington is possible, he added, provided it adheres to what was previously agreed upon and refrains from actions that undermine trust and excessive demands.
He said that Iran is determined to move beyond the state of “no war, no peace” through negotiations or sustainable deterrence, and accused Washington of imposing a siege on the country by blocking access to food and hindering trade and healthcare services.
