[London, 6th Reuters]-US Secretary of Defense, Esper, showed on the 6th that Iran was getting closer to a situation where talks could be held.

Esper, who spoke at the Royal Institute of Defense and Security (RUSI) in London, visits, “In some ways Iran is making little progress towards a situation that can be negotiated, and it can be realized. I hope. "

When asked about the grounds of this view at a subsequent press conference, he pointed out that “Some remarks made by Iran after the G7 (seven major countries)”. “Even though we are approaching little by little, it is a faint movement. I think they can be evaluated,” he added.

At the G7 Summit held last month, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif visited the G7 venue at the invitation of the presidency France, but did not meet with US President Trump. Mr. Trump said yesterday that he could meet with Iranian President Rouhani at the United Nations General Assembly this month in New York.

On the other hand, according to Iran's Phars communication, Salami commander of the country's elite Islamic revolution defense corps said, “Iran will never negotiate with the United States. That is the main aim of the enemy country (the United States), No one will help you achieve that purpose, "he said. It seems that he has not softened his attitude.
