DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) 鈥� Iran鈥檚 president said Sunday that Tehran had rejected direct negotiations with the United States in response to a letter from President Donald Trump over its rapidly advancing nuclear program.
The remarks from President Masoud Pezeshkian represented the first official acknowledgment of how Iran responded to Trump鈥檚 letter. It also suggests that tensions may further rise between Tehran and Washington.
Pezeshkian said: 鈥淎lthough the possibility of direct negotiations between the two sides has been rejected in this response, it has been emphasized that the path for indirect negotiations remains open.鈥�
It鈥檚 unclear, however, whether Trump would accept indirect negotiations. Indirect negotiations for years since Trump initially withdrew America from Tehran鈥檚 nuclear deal with world powers in 2018 have been unsuccessful.
