ROME (ITALPRESS) – Iran says it is not negotiating under “intimidation” after U.S. President Donald Trump sought to increase pressure on Tehran by ending a sanctions waiver that had allowed Iraq to buy electricity from its Shiite neighbor.
Iran’s mission to the United Nations had disclosed yesterday that Tehran may be open to talks aimed at addressing U.S. concerns about the potential militarization of its nuclear program, though not ending the program completely.
Le parole di Araghchi
Yet today, Iran’s diplomatic chief Abbas Araghchi appeared to close to such discussions, saying that Tehran’s nuclear program was and always will be completely peaceful and therefore “there was no such thing as its ‘potential militarization.'” “We will not negotiate under pressure and intimidation. We will not even consider it, no matter what the topic is,” Foreign Minister Araghchi says on social media platform X.
