MOSCOW, October 16. /TASS/. The United States is not showing any serious political will to negotiate with Iran, the Islamic Republic’s Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali said.

"Iran has repeatedly affirmed its commitment to actual diplomacy toward achieving a sustainable and long-term settlement even as we cannot see any serious will for actual talks on the opposite side," the Iranian diplomat said, addressing a conference on security in Central Asia and Afghanistan hosted by the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

According to Jalali, what is happening today in the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait is a direct result of the US and Israeli aggression and the naval blockade against Iran. "Continued use of force and the language of ultimatums will not bring any result to the United States," the ambassador emphasized.
