Reformist politician backs Iran’s negotiating team

Esmail Gerami Moghaddam, chairman of Iran’s National Trust Party, says reformists in the country were firmly behind Tehran’s negotiating team, despite reservations about the US, Al Jazeera reports.

“We all know that the Americans cannot be trusted,” Gerami Moghaddam told the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA).

“We all know that during past negotiations, they dishonestly and with undemocratic methods, and even under the guise of negotiations, harmed our Iran. All people are aware of these issues, but the regime has decided to reach an understanding at some point,” he said.
