 Iran says Trump letter mirrors his statements
Iran says Trump letter mirrors his statements

 Tehran (AFP) Mar 17, 2025
 Iran said on Monday that a letter it received from US President Donald Trump, who has called for striking a nuclear deal with the Islamic republic, echoed his public statements.

"The content of the letter is not far removed from Trump's public statements and repeats the same talking points," foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told a news conference in Tehran.

"Our response will be provided through the appropriate channels once the assessment is complete," he added.

The letter -- which Trump said was addressed to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei -- was delivered to Tehran last Wednesday by senior United Arab Emirates diplomat Anwar Gargash.

On the same day, Khamenei effectively ruled out holding talks with the United States.

He said the proposed negotiations "will not lift sanctions" but will instead "make the sanctions knot tighter".

Trump, who returned to the White House for a second term in January, has reinstated his "maximum pressure" policy of sanctions against Iran, mirroring his approach during his first term.

The US approach is aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring an atomic bomb -- something the Islamic republic denies it wants.

Several Council members requested the meeting over the latest report from the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency, which said Iran had significantly increased its stockpile of highly enriched uranium to 60 percent purity - close to the 90 percent needed for an atomic bomb.
