According to Pezeshkian, Iran is ready to “sit down at the negotiating table with the Europeans and the Americans to conduct dialogue and negotiations” amid accusations of supplying missiles.
Added: The head of the European Council, Charles Michel, met in New York with Pezeshkian and during the meeting expressed his concern to the Iranian president about the supply of weapons to Russia, destabilization of the region through mediators, detained EU citizens, the nuclear program and the human rights situation.
The Wall Street Journal’s Laurence Norman was told by a source that Michel told Pezeshkian that relations between Iran and Europe were at an all-time low.
He pressed the Iranian president on issues of human rights, the nuclear program, regional destabilization, the supply of missiles and European prisoners in Iran.
