Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif ruled out any talks with U.S. officials and called on Washington to respect his country.

In a tweet, Zarif said Iran and the U.S. held talks for two years which resulted in the 2015 nuclear deal, from which President Donald Trump recently withdraw.

“It’s been working. US can only blame itself for pulling out and leaving the table. Threats, sanctions and PR stunts won’t work. Try respect: for Iranians and for international commitments,” he added.
