NEW DELHI, March 25 (Xinhua) -- There are no talks or negotiations between Iran and the United States, said Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei in an exclusive interview with India Today on Wednesday.
He was quoted as saying that Iran has a very catastrophic experience with U.S. diplomacy, evidenced by U.S. attacks during negotiations over the nuclear issue in the past.
"No one can trust U.S. diplomacy," he said, adding that the country's armed forces are currently focused on defending Iran's territory and sovereignty.
Many countries in the region and beyond have reached out to Iran, offering to mediate, and Iran has received messages requesting negotiations, he said. "Our position is clear: we will continue to defend ourselves." ■
