Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the U.S. needs to stop its "economic terrorism" against his nation as it won’t agree to hold talks under duress.
“Negotiations are never possible under duress,” Zarif was quoted as saying Wednesday in Tehran, according to the official Islamic Republic News Agency. “Pressure and economic terrorism against Iran must stop and then we can talk" about implementing the nuclear deal, he said.
