“Negotiations with the US must be held at their own time. Every negotiation has a specific time called ‘negotiation maturity,’ and it must reach that maturity in order to be held,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says.
“In my opinion, we have not yet reached the point of maturity where effective negotiations with the US can take place,” he adds.
