Iran says open to US talks but against policy imposition

Meanwhile, Iran's judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei on Friday said his country remained open to talks with the United States but would not accept policy imposition under threats. However, he insisted that Iran was not willing to abandon its principles and values in order to avoid war or prevent its continuation.

Ejei insisted that US achieved nothing during the war, adding that Iran would not back down in negotiations.  In a written message on Thursday, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei said that Iranians would guard their nuclear and missile capabilities as part of their national capital.
