Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says the US is taking a contradictory approach when it comes to negotiations, Al Jazeera reports.

“Our problem is that on the one hand, America is pursuing a policy of maximum pressure against our country, and on the other hand, it expects Iran to come to the negotiating table and submit to their unilateral demands. Such an equation is impossible,” Pezeshkian has been quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.
