“The US must give up its threats and sanctions and announce that it would hold negotiations with Iran under equal footing and based on international laws,” Aqamohammadi said on Sunday.

“The US must recognize Iran’s rights,” he said.

Aqamohammadi further noted that, “The US must recognize Iran’s rights, remove the sanctions and return Iran’s blocked assets.”

“If the US is not willing to recognize Iran’s right with regard to the nuclear energy issue and keeps its forces behind Iran’s doors for an attack, the issue of negotiations does not make any sense,” he concluded.
