TEHRAN - Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi announced Monday that his country will not engage in direct negotiations with the United States unless Washington adjusts its policy towards Tehran, but "the path is open for indirect negotiations."

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a Red Crescent Society meeting in Tehran, Araghchi criticized the US government's so-called "maximum pressure" campaign and its repeated threats against Iran, emphasizing that these actions make it impossible for Iran to negotiate with Washington unless there is "a fundamental change in attitude," Iran's official IRNA news agency reported.

Araghchi further stressed that while direct negotiations are off the table, Iran remains open to indirect negotiations and will convey its messages through such channels.

Additionally, Araghchi hinted at plots against Iran and reiterated that "there will be no war" because the country is fully prepared for any scenario.

According to another IRNA report on Sunday, Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesperson of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, stated that Iran is ready to resume its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) if the other parties to the deal do not ignore its rights.

The 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the JCPOA, granted Iran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program. The agreement has been in jeopardy since the U.S. withdrew in 2018 during President Donald Trump's first term and reimposed sanctions. Tehran has since scaled back its compliance but insists its nuclear activities remain peaceful.
