Amirabdollahian made the remarks in a seminar on Resistance Diplomacy in the capital Tehran on Tuesday. He said that reaching an agreement with world powers which is in line with the national interests of Iran is one of the inherent duties of the diplomatic apparatus of the Islamic Republic.
Of course, Tehran has explicitly told the US and other Western parties to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that it is serious in observing the redlines and in protecting its national interests, the top diplomat noted.
Tehran will never leave the negotiating table and has already shown that even under worst circumstances when foreign countries attempted to fuel unrest in Iran, the country did not retreat from its redlines, he said.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he pointed to the issue of refugees from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Palestine as a common source of concern, saying that the Islamic Republic is against war and does not help any country involved in current wars in the world.
Amirabdollahian said Iran hopes that all regional challenges could be solved through negotiations and agreements not via conflict, adding that the root cause of the war in Ukraine should never be forgotten.
