Iran doubled down on its refusal to engage in nuclear negotiations under “pressure and intimidation,” as Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi fired back at U.S. calls for fresh talks this week. 🌍💬
What’s the Scoop? 🗞️
In a fiery post on X (formerly Twitter), Araghchi blasted Washington’s approach, citing military threats and sanctions, and declared: “Negotiation is different from bullying and issuing diktats.” He emphasized that Tehran “will not even consider” talks under such conditions.
Peaceful Program? ☢️➡️🕊️
The minister reiterated Iran’s stance that its nuclear program is “entirely peaceful,” dismissing accusations of militarization. Araghchi also noted ongoing consultations with international partners to build transparency—but only if “unlawful” sanctions are lifted.
Trump’s Letter: MIA? 📮
The announcement came days after former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he sent a letter to Iran’s leadership seeking nuclear talks. But Tehran isn’t holding its breath—Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed on Monday: Iran hasn’t received it yet. 🚫✉️
TL;DR: Iran wants talks with “mutual respect,” not ultimatums. Will diplomatic pressure work? Stay tuned. 🔍
