Iran expects Trump letter soon

Iran’s foreign minister has confirmed that an Arab nation is set to deliver a letter from US President Donald Trump, who has expressed interest in negotiating a new nuclear agreement with Tehran. Speaking after a cabinet meeting, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that while the letter has yet to arrive, arrangements are in place for its delivery to Tehran in the near future. However, he did not specify which Arab country is acting as the intermediary or when exactly the message will be received.

Iran Rejects Talks Under Pressure

Last week, Trump revealed that he had written directly to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, urging negotiations on a revised nuclear deal. He warned that if Tehran refuses to engage, military options remain on the table.

Iran, however, has consistently dismissed the idea of negotiating while facing economic and political pressure. After his return to the White House, Trump reinstated the “maximum pressure” strategy, which included withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018 and imposing tough economic sanctions on Tehran.

Supreme Leader Khamenei has advised the Iranian government against engaging in talks with Washington, citing a lack of trust following the US withdrawal from the previous agreement. He also criticized what he described as coercive diplomatic tactics, arguing that some governments push for negotiations not to resolve disputes, but as a means of asserting control.
