Tehran: Security chief Ali Larijani stated that Iran remains open to nuclear talks with the United States while unequivocally rejecting any curbs on its missile program.

Larijani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, emphasized that the path for negotiations with the US is not entirely closed, despite ongoing tensions between the two nations.

He criticized the Americans for their perceived lack of commitment to meaningful dialogue and their attempts to place unrealistic demands on Iran.

Larijani's comments came in response to recent developments where European powers have sought to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran due to concerns over its nuclear activities.

The US has welcomed this move but maintains that it remains available for direct engagement with Iran.

On Thursday, Britain, France, and Germany invoked the 'snapback' clause within the Iran Deal, triggering the potential reimplementation of UN sanctions.

The situation highlights a complex diplomatic standoff between global powers, with both sides presenting conflicting positions regarding their willingness to engage in negotiations and adhere to established agreements.
