The Iranian leader rejects nuclear conversations with us when Trump’s letter arrives

Iran’s supreme leader Ali Hamenei rejected the idea of ​​negotiating with the United States over his nuclear program, as Tehran confirmed that he was receiving a letter from President Donald Trump.

Last week, Trump said the letter offered conversations about a deal that would prevent Iran from acquireing nuclear weapons and preventing possible hostilities.

Although Hamenei said he did not see the letter executed by an employee of the United Arab Emirates, he rejected it as a “fraud of public opinion”.

“When we know they will not honor it, what is the point of negotiations?” he asked, citing Trump’s decision to abandon the Iranian nuclear deal in 2015 during his first term.

He warned that Iran would take revenge in the case of strikes on his nuclear facilities.

“Iran is not looking for war, but if the Americans or their agents take the wrong step, our answer will be decisive and secure, and the one who will suffer the most harm is America,” he said.

The Supreme Leader, who has the last word on all state issues, also reiterated that Iran “is not interested in nuclear weapons.”

Ten years ago, the country agreed with a historical deal with six world powers – China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States – to limit its nuclear activities and allow monitoring from inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (MAE) in exchange for sanctions relief.

However, Trump unilaterally removed the United States from the 2018 agreement and restored the mutilation of US economic sanctions. He marked him “the youngest deal in history”, saying that it had done too little to stop Iran’s potential path to build a nuclear bomb.

Iran replied, increasingly violating the terms of the transaction, especially those that limit the production of enriched uranium, which can be used to produce fuel for nuclear power plants, but also for the construction of nuclear weapons.

Mae said last month that Iran had stock almost 275 kg (606 pounds) uranium, enriched to 60% purity, which is close to the degree of weapons. This would theoretically sufficient if it is enriched up to 90%for six nuclear bombs.

Both the US and Israel have warned that they will never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Israel has threatened to hit the Iranian nuclear facilities if necessary.

Last year, Israel said it hit part of Iran’s nuclear program during strikes, which made an Iranian missile attack.

In a television interview broadcast last Friday, Trump said: “There are two ways Iran can handle: military, or you make a deal. I would prefer to make a deal because I don’t want to hurt Iran. They are great people.”

“I wrote them a letter saying,” I hope you will negotiate, “because if we have to enter military, it will be awful for them,” he added.

The White House did not give any details about the content of the letter, which Iran said was handed over to Foreign Minister Abas Arakchi by the UAE Presidential Advisor Anwar Gargash.

Although the Supreme Leader rejected the idea of ​​negotiating with the United States, Iran’s mission to the UN said in a statement on Sunday that it could consider negotiations “If the goal is … to deal with concerns about any potential militarization of Iran’s nuclear program.”

Arakchi also said on Wednesday that nuclear conversations with the United Kingdom, France and Germany are “continuing”, while the Chinese Foreign Ministry said China, Russia and Iran would discuss the “Iranian Nuclear Number” at a three -way meeting in Beijing on Friday.
