(MENAFN) The U.S. pressures cannot bring Iran back to the negotiating table over the current problems, chief commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said on Tuesday.
Mohammad Ali Jafari was quoted as stating by Tasnim news agency, "The idea that Tehran would agree to negotiate with Washington amidst its pressures is an illusion".
He emphasized, "There is nothing in history to show that Iran will surrender to the U.S.' demands even in the face of heavy economic pressure".
Iranian Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, affirmed in October that Iran would not sit for discussions with the United States over the current problems as the circumstances were not suitable.
