Iran rejects direct talks with the US over its nuclear programme

 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. The Iranian president told a cabinet meeting:
“We don’t avoid talks; it’s the breach of promises that has caused
issues for us so far. “They must prove that they can build trust.”
