Masoud Pezeshkian, in an interview with ‘India Today’, in response to the question of whether Tehran is prepared for direct talks without preconditions with Donald Trump, said: “For now, we cannot make such a decision, because they have killed our leader.”

Pezeshkian added: “The catastrophe they have created for our country will not be erased from people’s minds.”

The head of the government, about whether his response to direct negotiations with Trump is “no,” said: “It’s not that simple. The right atmosphere of trust must be created.”

Pezeshkian also, about relations with Saudi Arabia, said: “We are not at war with Saudi Arabia. The Houthis also have their own issues. I have said many times that there is no reason for disagreement between the countries of the region.”
