DUBAI, the United Arab Emirates – the Iranian President said on Sunday that the Islamic Republic of the Islamic Republic rejected direct negotiations about the rapidly advancing nuclear program with the United States, and Tehran presented his first answer to a letter that President Donald Trump sent to the country’s highest leader.
President Masoud Pesshkian said that Iran’s reaction through the Sultanate of Oman left the possibility of indirect negotiations with Washington. However, such negotiations did not make progress because Trump unilaterally withdraws America from the Nuclear Agreement of Tehran in 2018 in 2018.
Since then, regional tensions have been boiled on attacks on sea and land. Later, the Israeli-Hamas War in the Gaza Strip, which targets militant group leaders in Israel’s “Axis of Resistance”, where Iran defines itself. Now, when the US Yemen’s Iran -backed Houthi rebels carry out intensive air attacks, the risk of military action aimed at the Iran’s nuclear program remains on the table.
Uz We do not avoid negotiations, a violation of promises that have caused problems for us so far, Pes Pesshkian said on television during a cabinet meeting. “They must prove that they can build trust.”
The White House, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other officials did not react immediately to the announcement. However, Trump said he was thinking about military action and secondary tariffs if Iran did not accept a nuclear agreement before Pesshkian’s comments.
“If they don’t make an agreement, there will be bombing and bombing the likes they’ve never seen before,” Trump said in a comment published by NBC News. He said.
Iran’s position harden after Trump’s letter
He made Pezshkian’s decision, showing how much he has changed in Iran since his elections, after he promised to re -interact with the West half a year ago.
Since the election of Trump and the restarts of the “maximum pressure” campaign in Tehran, Iran’s Rial currency has become a free decline. Pezshkian, Iran’s 85 -year -old superior leader Ayatullah Ali Khamenei in February, forced to Trump and “smart, wise or honorable” was warned until he was warned. Iranian President immediately hardened his own words about the United States
Meanwhile, there were mixed messages from Iran for weeks. Videos from Quds or Jerusalem on Friday, daily demonstrations, people in the crowds to the participants only “Israel death!” Typically, “Death to America” was also heard.
The video of an underground missile base described by Iran’s harsh paramilitary revolutionary guards showed that their troops stepped on a flag of Israel.
However, the English branch of the Iranian state television Press TV published an article last week, including the targets of the possible attack on the bases in the Middle East. The list included Camp Thunder Cove in Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, where the US was based on Stealth B-2 bombing planes in Yemen.
“The Americans know how vulnerable they are.” “If they violate Iran’s sovereignty, the gunpowder will be like a spark in the warehouse, polishing the whole region. In such a scenario, bases and allies will not be safe.”
However, Tehran’s last two direct attacks on Israel with ballistic missiles and drones caused negligible damage, while Israel responded by destroying Iranian air defense systems.
Iran’s rejection is the last of the tensions on the nuclear program
Trump’s letter came to Tehran on March 12th. Although he announced in a television interview, Trump offered little details to the Supreme Leader about what he said exactly.
In the interview, Trump wrote a letter that says, “I hope you negotiate because we need to go on a military, this will happen to a terrible thing.”
The movement reminded that Trump to write a letter to Kim Jong Un, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, which led to face -to -face meetings, but there is no agreement to limit Pyongyang’s atomic bombs and a missile program that can reach the Continent
When Trump tried to send a letter to Khamenei through Late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2019, the Supreme Leader made an effort.
Trump’s letter came to warning that both Israel and the United States would never allow Iran to take a nuclear weapon, and Tehran’s Uranium enriched at 60% of gun-graded levels, which led to a fear of military conflict-something done by atomic arms.
Iran for a long time, even if the authorities threatened to follow the bomb, the program has continued to be for peaceful purposes. However, a report in February said the UN’s nuclear keeper accelerated the production of uranium close to weapons.
Iran’s reluctance to cope with Trump, in January 2020 in a Baghdad drone strike Iran Gen. Qassem also rooted in ordering the attack that killed Soleimani. The United States said Iran plans to assassinate Trump before its elections this November, and that Tehran rejected it despite threatening itself.
