Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the Trump administration is showing disrespect towards Tehran, AFP reported Saturday.
He added that his country is open to prisoner swap negotiations with the U.S., but only if the Trump administration shows a "change of attitude."
His comments were made in an interview with CBS, set to air in full on Sunday.
Negotiations are a "possibility certainly from a humanitarian perspective, but it requires a change of attitude," Zarif said.
Five Americans are held in Tehran, including 81-year-old Baquer Namazi, who is in failing health.
Zarif blasted the U.S. administration for showing "disrespect" toward Iran.
"You do not engage in negotiations by exercising disrespect for a country, for its people, for its government, by openly making claims, including this illusion about regime change," the Iranian foreign minister said.

You’re next.
Somebody should tell the moron that respect is earned.
Just who does he think he is with this “disrespect” crap?
An American black woman?
Nice to see how American TV allows them a forum.
I am sure that ANY American that wants to bad mouth Iran is given a ‘seat at the broadcast table’ to share his opinion.
The US media showed its ‘true colors’ going back to CNN admitting they were privy to what the Iraqis were ‘up to’ and decided to not share it with OUR military so they wouldn’t ‘lose there place at the table’.
Then the danrather BS in regards to Ws ANG records etc.
The hiding and altering of the ‘facts’ in BO BC etc
Now they are waging war on the duly elected president of the USofA in a daily barrage of hit hate pieces.
Zarif is guilty of cultural appropriation. How dare him speak in such language!
During the ill-fated Nuclear Deal discussions, towards the end of the negotiations, the Iranians intentionally sank a mock-up model (very large scale) of a US Carrier. What does that say about a country’s intentions Mr. Obama?????
I’d rather have dealings with Trump than some idiot who wants a photo op and doesn’t care how many people die, so long as he gets the photo op.
He say dat like it be a bad thang.
So, the prisoners are actually hostages with the purpose of extortion. Fine character Zarif is. He would fit right in with Joaquin El Chapo Guzman.
Iran’s day is coming...
Disrespect, you mean like calling a country the “Great Satan”?
Funny
Dems and Iran use same language
Since when to the Moolahs and Assahollahs (and their minions) deserve respect?
What this Iranian quiff has failed to mention is that Iran has massed thousands of Iranian soldiers along the Syrian-Israel border.
Disrespect? He’s lucky not to go down in a hail of kosher lead!
Just like President Reagan disrespected the old Soviet Union, hopefully with the same results.
