Iran says it’s ready to participate in ‘fair and just’ nuclear talks with the US
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said at a press conference Friday that “Iran is ready to participate in any diplomatic process that is meaningful, logical and fair,” but ruling out the possibility of engaging in negotiations about what he called Iran’s “defensive capabilities.” CNN’s Fred Pleitgen reports from Tehran. Thousands were killed across Iran in protests which began in late December. At least 40,000 were arrested in the subsequent crackdown, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency. A note to our viewers: CNN is reporting from Iran only with the permission of the Iranian government.
