TEHRAN, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- The chief commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) warned against any talks with the United States over the existing issues between the two countries, Press TV reported on Wednesday.

The Iranian nation will never allow their officials to hold talks with the "Great Satan" and will, instead, stay on the path of resistance against its pressures, Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said in a reference to the recent U.S. President Donald Trump's offer of talks with Tehran.

Iran will not give a positive response to the offer for a meeting, he said, adding that "the Iranians have many differences with those nations that submit to domination, and will never allow its authorities to hold talks and meetings with the Great Satan," referring to the United States.

The senior general described Trump as an "amateurish president" who is sticking with his same old "cheap" business tactics instead of practicing professional politics.

Former U.S. presidents learnt better than Trump that Iran and its people could not be threatened, he said.

"You will take to the grave the dream of Iranian officials asking you for a meeting or getting the permission to meet you from their nation. You would never live to see that day," Jafari was quoted as saying.

U.S. President Donald Trump hinted last week that Washington was open to negotiate a new nuclear deal with Tehran ahead of looming deadline for Washington to snap back gold and oil sanctions on Iran.

On Tuesday, Trump said he has "a feeling" the Iranians will "be talking to us pretty soon."

On Monday, Trump said that "I would certainly meet with Iran if they wanted to meet.... No preconditions. If they want to meet, I'll meet."

Responding to Trump's offer, Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Wednesday that the U.S. should blame itself for leaving the negotiating table by unilaterally scrapping the 2015 nuclear deal, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

"Iran & U.S. had 2 yrs of talks. With EU/E3+Russia+China, we produced a unique multilateral accord - the JCPOA. It's been working. U.S. can only blame itself for pulling out & leaving the table. Threats, sanctions & PR stunts won't work. Try respect: for Iranians & for int'l commitments," Zarif tweeted.

Besides, Iran's Foreign Ministry on Monday ruled out the possibility of negotiations with the U.S. government over the enduring bilateral problems.

"The United States has proved that it is unreliable, so engagement and dialogue with the current U.S. government is impossible," Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi said.

He added that "hostile policies of the United States, including its withdrawal from the Iranian international nuclear deal, its plans to exert sanction and economic pressures on Iran leave no chance for talks."

In the meantime, military confrontation between Iran and the United States is out of question, he said, adding that however, Tehran is prepared for any hostile move of Washington.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has also responded to Trump's remarks saying that any negotiation with the United States to solve the existing mutual problems was an "obvious mistake."

"The United States seeks to restore its status in Iran as they enjoyed before the Islamic Revolution (in 1979), and they will not accept less than this," Khamenei said in a meeting with the Iranian Foreign Ministry staff in the capital Tehran last week.

"I have reiterated that we can not rely on the American words and even their signature, therefore, negotiations with them are fruitless," he said.

"The United States has basic and fundamental problem with the (Islamic) establishment," Khamenei was quoted as saying.

However, Khamenei stressed that negotiations with the Europeans should continue to secure Iran's interests from the 2015 international nuclear deal following the U.S. withdrawal from it on May 8.
