"In the Pakistan negotiations, we made a strategic mistake. We should not have put the nuclear issue up for negotiation," Nabavian said, as quoted by Iran International.
"By doing so, the enemy became bolder," he added.
Nabavian said the US demanded that Iran's 60% enriched material be removed and blocked for 20 years, demands he said Tehran did not accept, as per Iran International.
US President Donald Trump on Thursday downplayed the pressure on him to end the war, saying that a deal will be made if it is good for the US.

"Iran's Navy is lying at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is demolished, their Anti Aircraft and Radar Weaponry is gone, their leaders are no longer with us, the Blockade is airtight and strong and, from there, it only gets worse Time is not on their side! A Deal will only be made when it's appropriate and good for the United States of America, our Allies and, in fact, the rest of the World," he added.
