Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has told his German counterpart, Johann Wadephul, during a telephone call that Iran is entering the negotiations with the US in “complete distrust”, Al Jazeera reports, citing Mehr news agency.

Araghchi said his nation “will fight with full authority to secure the interests and rights of the Iranian people”, citing repeated breaches of promise and “betrayals of diplomacy” by the US as the reason for this stance.
