At a ceremony in the city of Semnam, Mr Raisi said Iran will not walk away from the negotiating table but will also oppose any excessive demands that would end up harming the interests of the Iranian people.
Iran on Wednesday agreed to resume negotiations with world powers on reviving the nuclear deal, with western nations warning that Tehran’s nuclear work is advancing to dangerous levels and Israel threatening to attack.
