Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi indicated that the country will respond to President Trump’s letter shortly, emphasizing that Iran will not engage in direct negotiations under threats. Instead, Iran focuses on indirect talks concerning the nuclear deal with other nations, including Russia and China. The response to the letter is under review by Iranian authorities.
On Nowruz, the Persian New Year, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi announced that Iran would soon respond to a letter from US President Donald Trump. He clarified that Iran’s current policy does not favor direct negotiations while under the pressure of US threats. Instead, Iran has engaged in indirect talks with European countries—namely the UK, Germany, and France—regarding the revival of the nuclear deal, officially known as the JCPOA.
Minister Araghchi noted that discussions are also taking place with Russia and China concerning the nuclear deal. He stated, “As long as the threat exists, our policy is not direct negotiations while we continue indirect negotiations.” Additionally, Fatemeh Mohajerani, spokesperson for the Iranian government, confirmed that Trump’s letter is currently under consideration by the authorities, and its details will not be disclosed immediately. She assured that “an appropriate response will be given at the appropriate time and in a manner that is in the best interest of the country.”
In summary, Iran maintains its stance against direct negotiations with the United States amidst ongoing threats, focusing instead on indirect discussions concerning the nuclear deal with various countries. The Iranian government is currently reviewing President Trump’s letter and will respond in due course, prioritizing the interests of the nation.
