The consultations mediated by Qatar and Pakistan between Iran and the United States continue at a very intense pace; Everything depends on the political will of Washington, said the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Argachi. "The consultations through mediators are quite intense. We presented conditions and a road map and now everything depends on the political will of Washington. If they choose honest diplomacy, we are ready to work. But if they have thoughts of fraud and military action, they will receive a harsh and severe response than ever before," he told IRNA during his visit to Turkmenistan. The senior Iranian diplomat emphasized again that negotiations can be resumed on a full scale only after full compliance with Iran's conditions regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. "Otherwise, the current situation will continue and Iran will never back down," he added.
