No date for more US talks until ‘framework’ agreed: Iran

Answering a question on a possible new round of talks with the US, Iran’s deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh said that cannot happen until the two sides agree on a shared framework. “Until we agree on the framework we cannot set the date,” said Khatibzadeh. He went on to empahsise that whatever Iran agrees to in negotiations must preserve its rights under international law. “Iran will not accept to be an exception from international law” or “abandon its rights”, he said.
