Presidential hopeful: Any direct talks with US must be regulated by Iran’s security body
An Iranian presidential hopeful said any possible direct talks
with the US must be regulated by Iran's top security body.
Reformist campaigner Mohammad-Reza Aref said there is no
restriction for holding talks with other countries, including the
US, Fars news agency reported.
However, he noted that such negotiations must be conducted within
the framework set by the Supreme National Security Council.
The former first vice-president further stressed that Tehran will
enter bilateral talks with Washington when the US is papered for an
unconditional dialog.
In September, the Iranian Interior Ministry announced that the
country will hold the 11th presidential election on June 14.
