Iran is ready to consider discussions to alleviate concerns about the militarization of its nuclear program.
The Iranian mission to the United Nations wrote on X that if the goal of the negotiations is to address concerns regarding any potential militarization of Iran’s nuclear program, we can consider such discussions.
However, if the goal of the negotiations is to dismantle Iran’s peaceful nuclear program so that the other side can claim that what Obama couldn’t achieve has now been realized, we will never engage in such negotiations.
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran said in a speech before Iftar in the presence of current and former officials that Iran will not negotiate with countries that bully and whose aim in negotiations is to impose their will.
Less than three days ago, U.S. President Donald Trump said in a television interview that he had written a letter to the leader of Iran, asking him to accept negotiations.
However, the Iranian mission to the United Nations in New York and Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister, said last night after the Supreme Leader’s speech that no letter has been received by Iran.
