Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said Iran is not interested in talks with the United States, pushing back on President Donald Trump’s stance that Tehran wants a deal to end the war, reports Reuters.

“We are stable and strong enough. We are only defending our people,” Araghchi told CBS’s ‘Face The Nation’, in an interview.

“We don’t see any reason why we should talk with Americans, because we were talking with them when they decided to attack us.”
