Kalhor proposes two conditions for direct Iran-US talks.
An Iranian presidential aide has proposed two conditions Washington would be required to fulfill before holding direct talks with Tehran.
"It is the United States that needs to have relations with Iran," said Mehdi Kalhor, the media consultant to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on Saturday.
Washington's stance on Iran has been among the top foreign policy issues of the 2008 US presidential elections.
Republican presidential nominee John McCain says he would follow a set of policies toward Tehran, which echo the policies of the incumbent president, George W. Bush.
Democratic candidate Barack Obama says he would engage the Iranian government in direct negotiations over its nuclear program if elected.
On Saturday, Kalhor said Tehran would accept 'repentance' on behalf of the US government toward the Iranian people.
"Negotiations would be rational if the US moves out of the Middle East and the US government gives up its widespread support for the Zionist regime," he said.
