“In the nuclear talks, the US has many times been heard saying that Iran must build trust in the nuclear issue; but, considering the hostile policies that the hegemonic system has adopted against our nation, it is the US which has to build confidence,” said Mehdi Sanai, a member of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, on Friday.

Iran and the P5+1 group, comprising - Britain, China, France, Russia and the US plus Germany - have held several rounds of multifaceted talks mainly over the Iranian nuclear energy issue.

“Throughout the history, the US has always jeopardized our interests and adopted antagonistic policies, the August 19 [1953] coup d’état being an example of such hostility,” he added.


The Washington-sponsored coup d’état toppled the democratically-elected government of Iran’s Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq.

Commenting on the likelihood of future negotiations between Iran and the US, Sanai argued that negotiating with the US is not among the policies of the Islamic Republic and the major objectives of Tehran’s foreign policy will be determined by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
