No Talks With the U.S., Says Iran

In response to renewed U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil under the Trump administration's maximum pressure strategy, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that Iran would not engage in formal negotiations with the United States. He emphasized that Iran's stance on nuclear discussions is firm, rejecting negotiations conducted under pressure and sanctions. This position could hinder Trump's efforts to negotiate a new deal regarding Iran's nuclear program, particularly given the U.S. withdrawal from the previous JCPOA agreement, which Trump labeled as 'the worst deal ever.'

Iran's position regarding nuclear talks is clear, and we will not negotiate under pressure and sanctions.

The U.S. pulled out of the previous deal, the JCPOA, in Trump's first term; the president argued that it was 'the worst deal ever.'
