TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran does not see any chance to negotiate with the United States, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Javad Zarif denied Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, a day after remarks by US President Donald Trump For an agreement with Iran over its nuclear program.

"We now see no room for any negotiations with America," Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said in response to a question about Trump's remarks at a press conference in Tehran.

"Iran does not pay attention," he said. "What is important is to change attitudes and behavior."

Trump said the United States was not looking to change the Iranian regime, adding, "We look forward to the absence of nuclear weapons."

In the same context, Iranian Vice President Ishaq Jahangiri, said yesterday that the country does not have to seek to develop nuclear weapons, because this is banned by the Iranian guide, Ali Khamenei.

Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated since early May, when the United States quickly sent the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and a series of B52 strategic bombers and announced plans to send 1,500 troops to the region.

Washington's move came after it said it had received intelligence that Tehran was about to target US interests in the region, citing the firing of missiles on board wooden boats in the waters of the Persian Gulf.

In several statements, Trump threatened Iran with complete destruction if it wanted war.

"I think that Iran has the opportunity to be a great country with the current leadership itself, we are not seeking to change the regime, I want to clarify that, we are seeking to not have a nuclear weapons," Trump said during a press conference in the Japanese capital Tokyo. (IRNA).

In an excerpt last night, Zarif wrote on Trump's comments that Khamenei had long issued a fatwa on the "possession and use" of nuclear weapons. "Economic terrorism is what harms the Iranian people and creates tension in the region. It is not Trump's actions that will reveal whether these are Trump's real intentions. "

Zarif made a fuss in an attempt to keep the country from pursuing nuclear weapons.

This came at a time when the German newspaper Die Welt attacked European policy toward Iran on Sunday, calling it a reason to strengthen Tehran's aggressiveness in the Middle East and showing the old continent sympathetic to a terrorist regime.

"The US position on Iran is very justified, but the Europeans are holding back the nuclear agreement signed in 2015, and they are showing the continent as sympathetic to a terrorist regime," the paper said.

"The current time is absolutely appropriate to put more pressure on Iran to force it to abandon its aspirations in the Middle East and its sponsorship of terrorism and its destabilizing role in many countries, as well as its nuclear ambitions," she said.

"The policy of appeasement toward Iran over the past years has not reduced Tehran's aggressiveness, but it has greatly strengthened it."

"The United States has recognized the danger of that policy and should be thankful for it, but there are doubts that President Donald Trump may turn his Twitter threats into reality."

"When he suddenly promoted an oppressor like Kim Jong-un to a statesman who could sit down and negotiate with him, he praised him more than once and described him as a man of peace, which is far from it," Trump warned of dealing with Iran in the North Korean way.

"Despite the American praise and the attempts to show North Korea that it is giving its back to its past, Kim Jong-un has returned ballistic missile tests and is trying to pressure the United States to ensure its security and continuity before engaging in any negotiations," she said. in Iran".

The newspaper also warned of the US policy as "not taking real steps on the ground to confront Iran," striking example that «Washington left Syria to Iran do what it wants».

The newspaper concluded its report by inviting the West to "confront Iran and pressure it hard to force it to abandon its ambitions and its destabilizing role in the Middle East."
