“We have no plans for negotiations with the US and as long as this country is considered as the global arrogance, we will not hold talks with it,” Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi told reporters on Wednesday.
The Iranian commander emphasized that signs of developments can be seen in the US society and noted that the Wall Street Movement forced powers to surrender and withdraw from their positions.
On February 22, US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the US was willing “to meet bilaterally with the Iranian side,” repeating an offer Vice President Joe Biden had made earlier at the 49th annual Munich Security Conference in Germany on February 2.

On February 7, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei slammed Washington’s dual approach, saying “You should know that pressure and negotiations do not go together, and the [Iranian] nation will not be intimidated by such things.”
On March 5, US Secretary of State John Kerry once again expressed Washington’s readiness to hold negotiations with Iran “the spirit of mutual respect, and a spirit of good faith in order to get this resolved peacefully.”
The illegal unilateral sanctions by the US and the European Union are based on the unsubstantiated allegation that Iran is covertly seeking to militarize its nuclear technology, a claim Iran has categorically rejected.
