MNA � Chairman of Parliament�s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, believes that Iran-US ties cannot be mediated and that conditions are not ripe for talks.

Pointing to visits of other countries� officials to Iran in recent weeks, the senior MP added that these officials try to mediate between Tehran and Washington �since, in the first place, they are worried about the region and their own countries. They know that any tension will engulf the whole region so naturally, they try to play a mediatory role.�

�I believe that Iran-US ties cannot be mediated. Many US issues and differences [with Iran] are clear and there are no taboos for negotiations but conditions are not ripe for talks,� he told ISNA on Sunday.

He went on to say that US officials are moving in an unrealistic direction and that Iranians will not reveal their real decision in current circumstances. �So when they [US officials] abandon these psychological conditions [warfare] and enter the actual atmosphere, other decisions will be adopted [by Iran].�

�Trump is under the intense pressure of extremists,� he said, adding, �Trump and his extremist team have shown that they want to humiliate the Iranian nation which cannot be accepted by our people.�

The anti-Iranian remarks of the US President rise from his anger since the Iranian nation has not given in to pressures, Falahatpisheh said. �the Iranian people have adopted themselves to new conditions and experienced many achievements; such as a two-fold increase in non-oil exports and also a boom in domestic production. Of course, there are some weaknesses [in the country] but the ultimate result is that Trump is not happy with current conditions.�
