Iranian officials have stated that they still haven’t received any correspondence from President Donald Trump regarding negations.
Iran never got a letter that U.S. President Donald Trump said he had sent proposing negotiations, according to Iranian officials.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei addressed the issue during his weekly press conference on Monday, stating, « We did not receive a letter. »Why It Matters
The dispute over the letter comes at a time of escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Since returning to office, Trump has reimposed his « maximum pressure » campaign, seeking to bring Tehran into renegotiating the terms of its nuclear program.
His administration has tightened economic sanctions, aiming to cripple Iran’s economy and push its leaders to the negotiating table. However, Iranian officials have maintained their position, stating they will not engage in negotiations under pressure.What Did Trump Say About the Letter?
Last week, Trump said he had sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, urging Iran to reopen negotiations. « I said I hope you’re going to negotiate, because it’s going to be a lot better for Iran », he said, before warning Tehran of potential military action.
