Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian<\/span> says direct negotiations with the U.S. will depend on ‘U.S. behaviour’. Scroll down to see Trump’s answer.<\/p>\n

Press TV \u2013 March 30, 2025<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Iranian President Masoud\u00a0Pezeshkian\u00a0says the Islamic Republic\u2019s response to a letter from US President Donald Trump leaves open the possibility of indirect talks with Washington, stressing that the continuation of the negotiation process depends on the Americans’ behavior.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pezeshkian made the remarks during a cabinet session on Sunday, as he confirmed that Iran\u2019s response to Trump\u2019s letter has been delivered via the Sultanate of Oman.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Iran\u2019s response rules out the possibility of direct talks between the two sides, it states that the path for indirect negotiations remains open,\u201d Pazeshkian said.<\/p>\n

He said, “As we have stated before, Iran has never closed the channels of indirect communication. In its response, Iran reaffirmed that it has never shied away from engaging in negotiations, but rather, it has just been the United States’ repeated violations of agreements and commitments that have created problems on this path.”<\/p>\n

Pezeshkian further noted that the broken promises by the US have damaged trust, which must be restored, adding that \u201cIt\u2019s the behavior of the Americans that will determine whether the negotiations can move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

On March 7, Trump announced he had written to Iran to call for nuclear negotiations and threaten military action. The letter was delivered to Tehran on March 12 by UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash.<\/p>\n

Leader of the Islamic Revolution\u00a0Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on March 21 that US threats “will get them nowhere” and warned of reciprocal measures “if they do anything malign” against Iran.<\/p>\n

Ayatollah\u00a0Khamenei also\u00a0dismissed Trump\u2019s outreach for talks, which he said was an attempt to deceive global public opinion by portraying the United States as willing to negotiate while framing Iran as unwilling to engage.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran\u2019s official response to a letter from Trump has been sent through Oman.<\/p>\n

Araghchi said the response was sent through a letter that elaborated Iran’s viewpoints on the current situation and Trump\u2019s letter.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration recently restored the so-called maximum pressure policy, first introduced during Trump\u2019s initial term in office in 2016.<\/p>\n

Under this policy, Trump withdrew the United States from a landmark agreement on Iran’s nuclear program in 2018 and reimposed harsh economic sanctions on Tehran.<\/p>\n

Under\u00a0the 2015 agreement between Tehran and world powers, Iran agreed to\u00a0confidence-building restrictions on its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.<\/p>\n

Trump: If Iran doesn’t make a deal ‘there will be bombing’ with ‘bombs like they’ve never seen before’<\/strong><\/h1>\n

President Donald Trump escalated his threats against Iran <\/span><\/a>Sunday afternoon, after the Islamic Republic announced that it refuses to hold direct negotiations with him on a new nuclear agreement, but has signaled that it will agree to indirect talks. Trump said Sunday in an interview with NBC News that if a new agreement is not reached, Iran will be attacked.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” Trump said in a telephone interview with NBC. “There will be bombs like they’ve never seen before.”<\/p>\n

Trump added that “there’s a chance that if they don’t make a deal, that I will do secondary tariffs on them like I did four years ago.”<\/p>\n

He also noted that US and Iranian officials are now “talking.” It is not clear whether he meant direct talks, which Iran had previously denied. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tehran announced over the weekend that Iran had responded to a letter Trump sent <\/span><\/a>to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and in a message sent via Oman, Iranian officials expressed agreement to indirect negotiations, but insisted that direct dialogue with the U.S. is not possible as long as it threatened Iran and imposed sanctions on it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said earlier Sunday: “In response to Trump’s announcement, we confirm that we are rejecting direct negotiations, but the path to indirect dialogue is open. The behavior of American officials will determine the course of the negotiations. We have never avoided dialogue, but violating agreements has led to problems,” he said, referring to the fact that Trump withdrew from the previous nuclear deal in 2018, three years after it was signed during the Obama administration. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Trust must be rebuilt,” Pezeshkian added.<\/span><\/p>\n
