Iran to Respond to Trump’s Letter Amidst Ongoing Indirect Negotiations

Iranian FM Seyyed Abbas Araghchi announced an upcoming response to Trump’s letter, reiterating the nation’s refusal of direct talks under pressure. The country continues indirect negotiations with European states and engages with Russia and China concerning the nuclear deal.

On Nowruz day, 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 due to what he referred to as threats and Maximum Pressure from the United States. Instead, Iran has engaged in indirect talks with the UK, Germany, and France regarding the nuclear deal (JCPOA) and is also in discussions with Russia and China.

Minister Araghchi emphasized, “As long as the threat exists, our policy is not direct negotiations while we continue indirect negotiations.” Furthermore, Fatemeh Mohajerani, the spokeswoman for the Iranian government, stated that the letter from Trump is being reviewed and its content will not be publicized for now. She assured that the authorities will formulate an appropriate response in due time, considering the nation’s best interests.

In summary, Iran is set to respond to President Trump’s letter while maintaining its stance against direct negotiations under pressure. The country continues indirect negotiations to revive the nuclear deal and will deliberate on Trump’s correspondence carefully before issuing a formal response.
