Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Tehran will never accept any talks under pressure and intimidation.

Tasnim News reported this in a report on Monday (March 10).

US President Donald Trump claimed that he had sent a letter to Iran’s top leadership to discuss the nuclear deal.

In a post on his X account on Monday, Araghchi said that Iran’s nuclear program was completely peaceful in the past and will remain so in the future. There is no possibility of its so-called militarization.

He stressed that we will never sit for talks under pressure and intimidation, no matter what the topic of the talks is. Negotiations and threats or imposing conditions are not the same thing.

Araghchi also said that we are now continuing consultations with the European Three (E3) countries and separately with Russia and China on an equal footing and based on mutual respect. Our goal is to create more trust and transparency about Iran’s nuclear program, so that the illegal sanctions are lifted.

Referring to the United States, he said, “In the past, when the United States used respectful language, Iran respected it. But when they used threatening language, it was also responded to appropriately. Every action has a reaction.”

Earlier, in a meeting with top Iranian officials, the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Tehran would never bow to US pressure and sit for talks. The main goal of Washington’s call for talks is to impose its own conditions on Iran.

Khamenei said, “The way some powerful countries are insisting on talks, it is not actually a solution to any problem… For them, talks mean raising new demands. This is not just about the Iranian nuclear issue… Iran will definitely not accept their conditions.”
