Iran is ready for indirect talks with US

Iran is prepared for indirect negotiations with the United States to assess the opposing side's intentions.

Kamal Kharrazi, chairman of Iran's Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, said on March 27.

He made the comments following news of the US military build-up at the Diego Garcia military base in the Indian Ocean on March 26. 

Kharrazi characterised recent American diplomatic approaches as ‘psychological warfare’ employing a ‘war or negotiations’ dichotomy through contradictory messages from US officials.

“Trump's recent positions and vague references by some American officials to his letter, widely published in Western and regional media, aim to create an imaginary optimism, confusion and a polarised atmosphere in the country,” Kharrazi stated.
