“They have long expected this from Iran, but the expectation is in vain,” the words of Mousavi are quoted.

He also said that Tehran will not start negotiations when international laws and regulations are not respected.

In addition, Mousavi accused the US of "economic terrorism."

Earlier, US State Department spokesman Morgan Ortagus said that President Donald Trump is “waiting for a call” from the Iranian authorities if they want negotiations.
