The United States is ready to achieve an agreement with Iran whenever Tehran is ready to engage, said US President Donald Trump during Monday’s address of the Israeli Parliament.
Washington and Tehran organized five round negotiations before the 12 -day conflict between Iran and Israel in June, during which the US also focused key Iranian nuclear places. The interviews repeatedly stopped over the main adhesive points, including enrichment of uranium on Iranian soil – something that Western nations want to reduce to zero to prevent weapons, so far the demand has been rejected by Iran.
“We are ready when you are, and it will be the best decision I have ever made – and that will happen,” Trump said, referring to the prospect of the agreement. “The hand of friendship and cooperation is open. I tell you, they want to conclude an agreement … It would be great if we could agree,” he added, adduring Knessset.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi signaled openness to the “fair and balanced” proposal from Washington on Saturday, but noted that Tehran has not yet received any specific starting points for negotiations. “If we receive a reasonable, balanced and fair proposal from the Americans, it will consider it,” said Araqchi State Television, adding that both sides exchanged messages through mediators.
Trump, who was warmly accepted in Israel before a planned trip to Egypt to a regional summit, which aims to build conditions for permanent peace in Gaza, he said: “There is nothing more good for this part of the world than Iranian leaders to give up terrorists and finally recognize Israel’s right to existence.” ”
However, Araqchi rejected the idea of normalizing the links with Israel as a “pious wishes”. “Iran will never recognize the occupation regime that has committed genocide and killed children,” he said.
Iranian Foreign Minister also confirmed that he and President Masoud Pezshkian refused to invite to participate in the Egyptian summit. “While it favors diplomatic engagement, even Pezshkian President, I cannot participate in the counterparts who attacked the Iranian people and continued to threaten and sanctioned,” Araqchi published on Monday.
