Iran denied reports of a meeting between Vance and Razai and said that negotiations would not be possible until the United States met its conditions.
A senior Iranian security official, in a statement to Tsanim, said that Iran's policy and plans regarding the negotiations have not changed and that Iran will continue to insist on the implementation of the seven conditions set by the Iranian side before taking concrete steps.
This denial followed press reports that a meeting had been planned in Doha between US Vice President J. Dee Vance and the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Razai.
Iran's seven conditions for any negotiations include the lifting of the US naval blockade, the lifting of the freeze on Iranian assets abroad, compensation for war damages, and an end to US threats and interference in Iran's internal affairs.
