Aboard Air Force One on his way back to the United States after a two-day state visit to China on May 15, US President Donald Trump said he was fine with Iran suspending its nuclear programme for 20 years, but there has to be a "real" commitment from Tehran.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said US-Iran negotiations are suffering from a lack of trust, stressing that Tehran wants clear and precisely defined terms before any deal is reached.

00:00We had a total military victory.
00:02We knocked out their entire Navy.
00:05We knocked out their entire Air Force.
00:17Sir, would you consider lifting these sanctions on Chinese oil companies that buy Iranian oil?
00:22Well, we talked about that, and I'm going to make a decision over the next few days.
00:26We did talk about that.
00:27Have you rejected the latest proposal from Iran, or where does that stand?
00:32I looked at it, and if I don't like the first sentence, I just throw it away.
00:3620 years is not enough for you. It's got to be a perfect...
00:39No, 20 years is enough, but the level of guarantee from them is, in other words, it's got to be
00:47a real 20 years, not a big one thing.
00:50You saw the reporting on the missile capability, missile launchers that have remained.
00:57No, it's New York Times fake news.
01:00The missile launches are probably 80% gone.
01:05The New York Times said it's like we were hitting them like piƱatas.
01:11The missile launches are largely gone.
01:13The manufacturing of missiles is about 80%, 80% to 85% gone.
01:19And we know where the rest of it is. So, if we go in, we'll take that out very early.
01:24So, the most important issue right now is the question of trust.
01:29We cannot trust Americans at all.
01:32So, everything should be exact.
01:34Everything should be defined very clearly before we can conclude the deal.
01:39And it is obvious that those things, they have not been able to achieve militarily, they cannot achieve on negotiation
01:49table.
01:49Unless there is a win-win solution achieved.
01:54So, the current negotiation is suffering from the lack of trust.
01:57Our other problem is the, as I said, contradictory messages,
02:01which has made us reluctant about the real intentions of Americans in these negotiations.
02:08We are in doubt about their seriousness.
02:10But the moment we feel that they are serious and they are ready for a fair and balanced deal,
02:17we certainly proceed in the course of negotiations.
02:21As far as we are concerned, the Strait of Hormuz is open and all vessels can pass,
02:28except the vessels belong to those countries who are in war with us, who are fighting with us.
02:34The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is very complicated right now.
02:40And we are trying to help ships to pass safely.
02:45Everything would go back to normal once the act of aggression is totally and completely ended.
02:53China has been helpful in the past in the resumption of relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
02:58We have very good relations with China.
03:01We are strategic partners to each other.
03:04And we know that Chinese have a good intention.
03:09So anything that can be done by them to help diplomacy would be welcomed by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
03:38We are coming to the Westabad open the Martin at one time to the other.
