Foreign Minister of Iran, Mohammad Javad Zarif, expressed his country's readiness to cooperate with the United States regarding Gulf countries security, ruling out any cooperation with Israel.

"In my personal opinion, we should define our relationship with the United States, to say to it that we will not cooperate with you on the issue of Israel and we will disagree with you," said Zarif in a newspaper interview on Saturday.

Zarif added that “Tehran will not allow you to interfere in its internal affairs, but we have no problem to work with you on the issue of oil. We have no problem in ensuring the security of the Persian Gulf although we believe that the foreign presence causes insecurity and you should not be there.”

Iran on Friday reminded US President Joe Biden of what it considers requirements to save the nuclear deal, which is the unconditional lifting of the sanctions it targets and not seeking to extract concessions from it.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, along with six major countries, China, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Russia and Germany, reached a comprehensive joint action plan in Vienna in 2015 to settle the Iranian nuclear issue after 12 years of tension.

Like Paris and Berlin, Biden expressed his desire to expand negotiations with Iran to include its missiles and its regional influence.

In an indication that public tension is still high between Tehran and Washington, a Twitter account linked to Iranian Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, published a call Thursday for revenge against those responsible for the assassination, by US airstrike, of the Iranian general, Qasem Soleimani, in Baghdad last year.
