Ali Larijani: The issue of negotiation or non-negotiation has neither inherent good nor ugliness/ The essence of negotiations with the United States is political, not legal

 Member of the Expediency Council at Shahed University:

The essence of negotiations for nuclear issues is political, not legal; if it was legal, we should have negotiated with the IAEA, not the United States and European countries.

You negotiate when you think that the country can secure its interests through negotiations, but when you see that the country's interests are not being met, there is no reason to negotiate
