TEHRAN (IRNA) -- Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Sunday that the Iranian delegations will not hold talks with any U.S. representatives at the 45th Munich Security Conference slated to begin on Friday.

Speaking to reporters in a joint press conference with the Head of Hamas Political Bureau Khalid Mashaal, he said that the Iranian delegations who will attend the 45th Munich Security Conference on Friday are Majlis speaker, foreign minister and a number of officials.
Talks between Iran and the U.S. at Munich Security Conference is not on the agenda, he said.
“Resumption of relations with the U.S. under the new circumstances is of prime importance and we are now studying the change of attitude and U.S. policies to make our views known but we have no plan to do so at the upcoming Munich security conference,” Mottaki underlined.
On Iran’s stance on the recent decision by the Belgium government to halt export of arms to the Zionist regime, he said the Islamic Republic of Iran welcomes the move.
Those who support Zionist occupiers should understand that they are an accomplice in the crimes against humanity, Mottaki said.
Referring to Palestine, he said that it is among the legitimate rights of the Palestinians to resist the Zionist occupiers and underlined that the Palestinian resistance movement is authorized to use weapons to defend its legitimate rights in the fight against Zionists aggressors, Mottaki said.
Khalid Mehaal underlined the need to continue resistance until the seige of Gaza is lifted and the border crossings are reopened.
He maintained that as long as the siege continues, resistance will go on.
“Our land is now under occupation and Palestinians have the right to resist,” he said, noting that being armed is essential for resistance.
As long as occupation continues, ceasefire will be meaningless, Meshaal said, adding that Palestine welcomes a ceasefire but not a permanent truce.
Underlining that Palestinians favor territorial integrity, he noted that their rights should be recognized.
On accusation that he is involved in staging a coup against the Palestinian Authority, he said, “We maintain that it is the ballot boxes that will determine the Palestinian leaders and Palestinians have elected Hamas of their own free will.”
He noted such rumors as too worthless to deserve any comments.
“We are currently in talks with Egypt about its initiative on ceasefire and we will accept ceasefire on condition that the siege on Gaza is lifted and border crossings reopened,” Meshaal said.
Appreciating the support of the Iranian nation and officials for resistance of the Palestinians during the 22-day war, he said that Iran showed that it is a special patron of the Palestinians.
“We consider our victory indebted to Iran’s support,” he said.
He also called for international participation in the reconstruction of Gaza, which will help relieve the sufferings of the Gazans.
