Iran does not expect change in US behavior following talks: Araqchi

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araqchi says Iran does not expect a change in the behavior of the United States following the successful conclusion of the talks between the Islamic Republic and the P5+1 group of countries, except in the area of Iran’s nuclear program.

Speaking during a press conference in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Wednesday, Araqchi said the US, likewise, should expect no change in the policies of the Islamic Republic.

He said the talks between Iran and the P5+1 were exclusively limited to the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

The deputy foreign minister said, however, that upon the decision of high-ranking Iranian officials, Iran may in the future engage in negotiations on specific topics with the US. He said that no prediction can be made about that issue at the moment.
