U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the United States is willing to talk to Iran with ‘no preconditions’ but will continue to pressure the country.
Pompeo made the comments on June 2 after talks with his Swiss counterpart Ignazio Cassis in the southern Swiss town of Bellinzona. Switzerland represents U. S. interests in Iran.
‘We are prepared to engage in a conversation with no preconditions. We are ready to sit down with them,’ Pompeo told a joint news conference with Cassis, adding that ‘the American effort to fundamentally reverse the malign activity of this Islamic republic, this revolutionary force, is going to continue.’
Cassis said Switzerland would be pleased to serve as an intermediary, but not a ‘mediator,’ between the United States and Iran.
