Instead, he says Iran has compiled a set of demands "based on our own interests and considerations".
"We knew from the beginning what we wanted and what red lines we were unwilling to cross, and our position is clear even now. From the very moment this discussion came up, our answers were ready," he says, adding Iran has formulated its own responses and "will announce details in due time".

Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said details of the response would be announced in due time, but added negotiations were "incompatible with ultimatums and threats to commit war crimes."
"Iran does not hesitate to clearly express what it considers its legitimate demands and doing so should not be interpreted as a sign of compromise, but rather as a reflection of its confidence in defending its positions," Baghaei told a press conference. He said earlier U.S. demands, such as a 15-point plan, were rejected for being excessive.
Earlier on Monday, a senior Iranian official told Reuters that Iran won't reopen the Strait as part of a temporary ceasefire, nor would it accept deadlines or pressure to reach a deal. Washington was not ready for a permanent ceasefire, the official said.
