Iran foreign minister says no meeting planned with US counterpart
DUBAI - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said there was no meeting planned with US officials, including his counterpart Mike Pompeo, at the United Nations General Assembly, the semi-official news agency Tasnim reported on Saturday.
Asked about the likelihood of a meeting with US officials, including Pompeo, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, Zarif said: "No, no such meeting is planned. We have repeatedly announced our position," Tasnim reported.
Earlier this week, the United States re-imposed sanctions on Iran in line with President Donald Trump's decision to pull out of a 2015 agreement over Iran's nuclear program.
