Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has demanded a fundamental shift in US policy following a year of failed aggression and foreign-backed destabilization efforts targeting Iran.

Iran has rejected any notion of negotiations with the United States, dismissing US President Donald Trump’s claim that talks were underway.

Iran’s top security official has dismissed reports of fresh communications with Washington, stressing that no new message has been conveyed to the United States.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran will not return to negotiations with the United States so long as Washington continues its policy of excessive demands.

A senior Iranian security official says the United States is obstructing potential talks by raising “unrealizable” demands, including restrictions on Iran’s missile program.

China's mission to the United Nations has declared the country’s firm opposition to threats by some European countries to activate the "snapback" mechanism within the framework of UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

Iran’s top diplomat has warned the European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal that invoking the so-called snapback mechanism would be illegal.
