"If the Americans should be indifferent to their commitments as in the past or if the negotiations are fruitless, it is actually illogical that the Islamic Republic of Iran wants to waste its time in such negotiations. ".
(Translation: If the Americans continue to ignore their commitments as they have done in the past, or if the negotiations are futile, it fundamentally makes no sense for the Islamic Republic of Iran to waste its time in such negotiations.).
