Washington, Tehran (Monitoring Desk) – U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that he has sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, offering to engage in negotiations over the nuclear deal.
In an interview with U.S. media, President Trump stated that he wants to initiate talks with Iran regarding the nuclear agreement and has already sent a letter to the Iranian leadership to discuss the matter.
When asked if the letter was specifically addressed to Ayatollah Khamenei, Trump confirmed, saying, “Yes.” He went on to explain that there are two ways to engage with Iran: through war or through diplomacy. “I prefer the second option — diplomacy — because I don’t want to harm Iran. They are a great people,” Trump said.
The U.S. President further added, “I told them (Iran) that they should negotiate, because it would be better for Iran.”
However, Iranian officials have stated that they have not yet received the letter, and in the current climate, direct talks with the U.S. are not possible.
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, remarked that as long as the U.S. maintains its “maximum pressure” policy, there is no possibility of direct negotiations between the two countries on the nuclear issue.
