Donald Trump sent a letter to Iranian leaders last month by inviting negotiations on the nuclear program. The U.S. president also threatened Iran bombing in case diplomacy schedules, and already taken additional sanctions against the Iranian oil sector.
“Direct negotiations with a foreign-threatening force (…) and whose different officials expressed contradictory views would not make sense,” the head of Iranian diplomacy Abbas Araghchi, according to a statement, published his ministry on Sunday.

“But we remain committed to diplomacy and we are ready to try via indirect negotiations,” Arakci added.
Iran and the United States, close allies during Pahlava’s monarchy, did not have diplomatic relations from 1980. years, after the American hostages in the eauic revolution were taken for hostages in the US Embassy in Tehran.
These two countries still communicate indirectly through the Swiss Embassy in Tehran. Oman also had an intermediary role in the past, as well as Qatar, to a lesser extent.
The last letter of Donald Trump was delivered Iran through the United Arab Emirates.
The US president said on Thursday that he would rather lead “direct negotiations” with Iran. “It goes faster and you understand the other side much better than to go through intermediaries,” he determined. Iranians want intermediaries, but “I don’t think that is still the case,” Trump added.
“If we want to negotiate, then what threaten?” Iran President Masoud Pezowhkian asked on Saturday, chosen last year with the promise to continue the relief of sanctions for reviving the economy.
In 2015, Iran entered into the Agreement with the Permanent Members of the UN Security Council (China, Russia, USA, France and Great Britain) and German on regulation of its nuclear activities.
