Iran FM says only 'limited opportunity' for nuclear diplomacy

Iran's foreign minister said in an interview on Saturday that an opportunity exists for nuclear negotiations with the West, but that it is "limited". His comments come after the head of UN nuclear watchdog Rafael Grossi visited the Islamic republic and for talks with high-ranking officials. 

"The nuclear path in the next year will be a sensitive and complicated one, but the country is prepared for any scenario and conditions," the minister said on Saturday. He said Iran will be ready for both "confrontation" and "cooperation", whichever path the other side decides to follow. He also denied the reports that the country's ambassador to the United Nations had met with Elon Musk, a close adviser to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
