IRAN will not hold direct negotiations with the United States over its nuclear programme, President Masoud Pezeshkian said today.
Commenting on a letter sent by US President Donald Trump to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Mr Pezeshkian said Iran’s response, delivered via Oman, left open the possibility of indirect negotiations with Washington.
However, such talks have made no progress since Mr Trump, during his first term in the White House, unilaterally withdrew the US from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers in 2018.
