At a cabinet meeting, President Rouhani reiterated that “the reduction of our country's [nuclear] obligations is temporary and if they fully comply with their obligations, we are able to return to the previous situation, and if the other party takes the right and balanced action, and a ceasefire in the economic war is announced, there will be an opportunity to talk to each other and to come to a conclusion”. He added that “of course, there are countries as intermediaries, and there are correspondences and calls underway, and everyone should know that we will never miss the opportunity for negotiation”. Rouhani added: “We consider surrendering not right… but we are always ready for a fair, respectful negotiation, and we are ready now”.
