Iranian President Hassan Rouhani ruled out the possibility of bilateral talks with the US, however, the talks are still possible on the Iranian nuclear deal between Tehran and parties to the 2015 deal, Reuters reported.

“No decision has ever been taken to hold talks with the U.S. and there has been a lot of offers for talks but our answer will always be negative,” he said. “If America lifts all the sanctions then like before it can join multilateral talks between Tehran and parties to the 2015 deal.”

Earlier, US President Donald Trump at the end of the G7 summit in France said that he could meet with Rouhani under the right circumstances.

US-Iran relations deteriorated in the last year when the US pulled out of a nuclear deal with Tehran. Iran, in its turn, also suspended the implementation of several provisions of the deal. The US reintroduced sanctions against Iranian authorities and companies. European participants in the transaction announced their intention to maintain the deal.
