Milan, 20 Apr. (LaPresse) – Whether or not Iran sends a delegation to Islamabad will depend on whether Tehran receives positive signals. This is what Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security Committee, said when speaking to Al-Jazeera about the prospects for talks with the United States. The MP, a former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), stated that Iran has decided to continue talks with the United States, but that this “does not mean negotiating at any cost” or accepting any “approach adopted by the other side”. When asked whether Iran would send a delegation to Pakistan, Aziz replied: “We have never shied away from the principle of negotiation. Perhaps today or tomorrow, following further assessment, we will deem it likely, provided that a positive signal comes from the US negotiating delegation and the messages it has received from Iran.” Iran has set red lines and these “must be respected”, he concluded.
