\u201cIran believes in civilian dialogue,\u201d he said. \u201cDirectly or indirectly is not important.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Trump can easily stop the war by only one telephone (call) to (the) Israelis,\u201d he said, repeating the Iranian position that talks were impossible while Israeli bombs were striking Iran. <\/p>\n
Farahani said that Iran would not countenance halting nuclear enrichment \u2013 which Tehran insists is for peaceful purposes – but added that concessions were possible. <\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe it can be lower but we don\u2019t stop it,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Iran says it needs enriched uranium for peaceful purposes, while also manufacturing large quantities of near-weapons-grade material. <\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s decision to open a two-week negotiating window before deciding on striking Iran has offered a slim \u2013 if improbable \u2013 path to a peace deal between Iran and Israel. <\/p>\n
Talks are taking place in Geneva between the foreign ministers from Iran, Britain, France, and Germany, along with the European Union\u2019s foreign policy chief, the first confirmed face-to-face meeting of its kind since the conflict began. <\/p>\n
After days of increasingly aggressive messages from the Trump administration, it has opened the possibility that military action can be averted. <\/p>\n
Indeed, Trump\u2019s own camp appears to be starkly divided on whether to pursue direct strikes against Iran. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf America gets involved in the war,\u201d Farahani said, \u201cthere are so many options and all (of) those options are on the table.\u201d <\/p>\n
Pro-government protests Friday on the streets of Tehran saw an outpouring of anger at both Israel and the United States. <\/p>\n
Chants of \u201cdeath to Israel, death to America\u201d \u2013 a staple at such events \u2013 rang out, while Iranians spoke of their fury at the bombing campaign. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
