Iran will never hold talks with US under pressure – President Hassan Rouhani
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani speaks during a news conference in Tehran, Iran, February 16, 2020.
Tensions spiked further following the killing of Iran's most prominent military commander Qassem Soleimani on January 3 by US drone attacks at Baghdad airport. In retaliation, Iran attacked US targets in Iraq in January. Although the reimposed US sanctions have crippled Iran’s economy, slashing its oil exports, Tehran has repeatedly dismissed talks over any new deal, saying they are possible only if the United States returns to the pact and lifts trade curbs.
"Securing peace and stability in the sensitive region of Middle East and in the Persian Gulf is impossible without Iran's help," Rouhani said.
