US President Donald Trump has revealed that he sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, urging Tehran to negotiate a new nuclear deal.
Trump’s Message to Iran
Letter to Khamenei: Trump expressed his hope that Iran would return to negotiations, stating it would be “a lot better” for the country.
Warning of Consequences: He made it clear that if Iran refuses, the alternative would be “very ugly” as the US will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons.
Unconfirmed White House Details: The exact contents of the letter remain undisclosed.
Iran’s Response: No Talks Under Pressure
Rejection of US Talks: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed negotiations, citing Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign.
Nuclear Programme Cannot Be Destroyed: He emphasized that Iran’s nuclear technology “is in the brains” and cannot be bombed.
Russia Steps In: Russian officials held talks with Iran, discussing diplomatic solutions to the crisis.
US-Iran Tensions Remain High
Trump’s hardline stance follows the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and the reimposition of sanctions. With diplomatic ties strained, the world watches to see if Iran will engage or if tensions will escalate.
