Iran Rejects Direct Negotiations With The US In Response To Trump’s Letter by God1000(op): 12:39pm On Mar 30, 2025
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s president said Sunday that the Islamic Republic rejected direct negotiations with the United States over its rapidly advancing nuclear program, offering Tehran’s first response to a letter President Donald Trump sent to the country’s supreme leader.

President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran’s response, delivered via the sultanate of Oman, left open the possibility of indirect negotiations with Washington. However, such talks have made no progress since Trump in his first term unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers in 2018.

In the years since, regional tensions have boiled over into attacks at sea and on land. Then came the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, which saw Israel target militant group leaders across Iran’s self-described “Axis of Resistance.” Now, as the U.S. conducts intense airstrikes targeting the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels of Yemen, the risk of military action targeting Iran’s nuclear program remains on the table.

“We don’t avoid talks; it’s the breach of promises that has caused issues for us so far,” Pezeshkian said in televised remarks. “They must prove that they can build trust.”

Trump’s letter came as both Israel and the United States have warned they will never let Iran acquire a nuclear weapon, leading to fears of a military confrontation as Tehran enriches uranium at near weapons-grade levels — something only done by atomic-armed nations.

Iran has long maintained its program is for peaceful purposes, even as its officials increasingly threaten to pursue the bomb.

Since Trump returned to the White House, his administration has consistently said that Iran must be prevented from acquiring nuclear weapons. A report in February, however, by the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog said Iran has accelerated its production of near weapons-grade uranium.

Trump also ordered the attack that killed Iran’s top general in a Baghdad drone strike in January 2020.

Iran can never be deceived, and let Israel dismantle its nuclear weapons first


This same Donald trump withdrew US from the 2015 nuclear deal ( the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) that was reached Under president Obama, under its terms, Iran agreed to dismantle much of its nuclear program and open its facilities to more extensive international inspections in exchange for lifting of sanctions, Iran was complying until trump came and ruined it

Iran should also learn from Ukraine and other countries US has abandoned, America is no longer a stable and reliable country, you will make a deal with one administration and another president will come and rubbish everything

No country should be at the mercy of another

Nuclear weapons have served most effectively as a deterrent, preventing nuclear powers from engaging one another in direct conflict

Listen! Iran Nuclear will be Struck and Destroyed! Not because President Trump said so or whatever. But Because it has been Written long before you came onto Existence.

Before you begin to rant and lead people to their DESTRUCTION, always check the Word of GOD, the Holy Bible to know GOD'S stand and so you don't make a fool and Mockery of yourself .

Now Hear the Word of the Lord.

Jeremiah 49:34-38
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.


And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them towar[/i]d all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:


And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the Lord.

Do you think Iran will stop the proxy war against Israel even after acquiring nukes and do you think Israel will stop responding, defending and attacking any proxy war coming from Iran. So you know what might happen.

Iran has openly said they are not building weapons and no intentions for that.
CIA’s most recent assessment of end of 2024 had said exactly the same.
EU assessment said exactly the same.
Qatar a mediating party said the same.
IAEA the atomic monitoring organization said exactly the same.

How about, no country in the Middle East should have a nuclear weapon ? Why should one country has and everybody is hell bound on the other not having ?

Dear Iran,

Directly or indirectly, it's in your best interests to negotiate and control your lapdogs ie Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis. Hamas and Hezbollah are already decimated, Houthis will soon be too. Syria is no longer a free passage way for you.

Trump already declared that any attack from any of your lapdogs will be treated as an attack from you.

Don't think Russia rate you as a an equal partner, they would prefer to normalise with USA if that chance is on the table. China would rather trade with the West and than fight against them.

Since you want perpetual proxy wars, Jihad and death; and your other partners in the axis of evil wants something better than those things, it's a matter of time, you may be left all alone and isolated.

Exactly! At this point, Iran should go nuclear because they seem to be the only effective deterrent. It worked for NK and Pakistan.

IRAN WAR, WILL BE THE WAR THAT WILL ULTIMATELY END AMERICAN DOMINANCE, THAT WAR IS A TRAP FOR AMERICA AND AMERICA THAT I KNOW WILL CERTAINLY WALK INTO THIS TRAP.


THE BIGGEST MISTAKE AMERICA ALWAYS MAKE IS UNDERATED HER ENEMIES.

IRAN HAS BEEN PREPARING FOR MOMENT LIKE THIS FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS.
THERE MANY WEAPONS THAT IRAN HAS WHICH AMERICA DOESN'T KNOW.

NEITHER RUSSIA NOR CHINA WILL STAND BY WHILE AMERICA AND NATO DESTROYS IRAN.

AMERICA WILL BE HEAVILY BLOODIED IN THIS WAR AND I AM AFRAID THAT OUT OF SHAME OF BEING DEFEATED, AMERICA MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO USED NUKES ON IRAN, AND IF THIS HAPPENED, ALL RULES OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS ENGAGEMENT ARE OFF, AND NUKES WILL START FLYING.


TRUMP SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL, HE MIGHT ACTUALLY END UP BEING THE PERSON TO START NUCLEAR WAR.
HIS SECRETARY OF DEFENSE IS TOO DUMB TO OCCUPY THAT OFFICE.
HIS NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER WALTZ IS A DIE-HARD WARMONGERING ZIONIST..... ALL INDICATION POINTS TO THE MOTHER OF ALL WARS HAPPENING IN 3 MONTH TIME.


WITH EU NATO MOVING INTO UKRAINE TO WAR WITH RUSSIA AND AMERICA ISREAL NATO MOVING INTO IRAN TO WAR WITH IRAN, THE WAR IS SET CERTAINLY

Why would any sane person expect Iran to reconsider its nuclear capabilities, if Ukraine could be an example?
huh
Re: Iran Rejects Direct Negotiations With The US In Response To Trump’s Letter by BodePolScience: 1:58pm On Mar 30, 2025
Nuclear weapons are basically for deterrents and for national prestige so the US and its puppet(Israel) should get that into their skulls.

And to use the words of a fellow nairalander 'What's good for the Greece is also good for Uganda'. Since the US and even a small country that was created by the UNO in 1948 could have nuclear capability, nothing stops an old and big country like Iran/Persia from possessing nuclear capabilities.

Old Persia was thriving, I said ever since the dumb Islamic terrorists regime took over, that is just decades ago...old Persia was a great land and heritage, but the Islamists dumb heads are only interested in spreading Islamic extremism, some of their Shiite dummies are causing their own confusion in Nigeria.

Are you a fool or just stupid, everyone knows the names of scientific inventors and physicists that revolutionized the world, most were/are Europeans, Baltic states, and Jews no Arabs or Iranians among.

All Islamic extremists and Arab world knows is to spread religious extremism, no benefit to the world, just spreading religious extremists terrorists...if everyone is like you people the world will be in stone age and would have been destroyed because we will have dozens of terrorists group.

I dare you to name an important Arab innovator or scientists, not to open mouth to talk nonsense... below are some of the greatest innovators and scientists that ever lived.
