DUBAI / TEHRAN – Iran’s foreign ministry on Saturday rejected any new negotiations or changes to the participants of Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers, after French President Emmanuel Macron said any new talks should include Saudi Arabia.
“The nuclear accord is a multilateral international agreement ratified by U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231, which is non-negotiable and parties to it are clear and unchangeable,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh was quoted by state media as saying.
Khatibzadeh also said that Western weapons are not only the cause of death of many Yemenis but also the main cause for instability in the Gulf.
Without stopping the "flood" of arms exports, stability and calm cannot be expected in the Gulf region, he noted.
