The tense relationship between the United States and Iran has reached a new high after the Islamic regime responded to a letter sent by Donald Trump, in which he urged negotiations for a new nuclear deal.
Tehran reaffirmed its defiant stance, hinting that its nuclear program will continue to develop despite the sanctions and restrictions imposed by Washington.
In early March, Trump sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, proposing direct negotiations to peacefully resolve tensions related to Tehran's growing nuclear program.
Although the exact content of the letter has not been made public, Trump suggested that a deal could include concessions regarding Iranian oil. However, he also made it clear that if an agreement was not reached, military options remained on the table.
Iran's regime, through Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, confirmed on Thursday that the response was delivered via Oman. Without revealing specific details, Iran reiterated its distrust of the United States and reaffirmed its right to continue with its nuclear program.
Iran delivered its response to Trump's letter through a message transmitted by the Sultanate of Oman. According to Al-Mayadeen and other sources, the Iranian response consists of the following points: 1. Iran confirms that it will not negotiate directly with the United States, especially within the framework of the maximum pressure policy, and categorically rejects the American approach. 2. Iran claims that it does not negotiate on behalf of any regional power and that it does not dictate the foreign policy of other nations or groups, including Yemen's Ansar Allah, which is an independent ally. 3. Iran claims it will not accept Trump's "unrealistic conditions" and that the US demands are so broad that they cannot even be considered hypothetically. 4. Iran unequivocally warns that any military or hostile action, whether by the United States or any of its allies, will be met with an Iranian response targeting all US military assets in the Middle East.
Iran doubles down .
In response, the Iranian government has toughened its rhetoric, insisting it will not yield to US pressure. Furthermore, it has accelerated uranium enrichment to near weapons-grade levels, according to a November 2024 report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), suggesting that Tehran seeks to gain leverage before Trump returns to the White House.
Simultaneously, Iran has strengthened its ties with Russia and China—key geopolitical players aiming to weaken Western influence in the Middle East.
Iran's insistence on defying the United States and its allies poses a direct threat to Middle Eastern stability. A nuclear-armed Iran could trigger an arms race in the region, prompting countries like Saudi Arabia and Israel to take drastic measures to ensure their security.
Additionally, Tehran could leverage its nuclear capabilities to blackmail the international community and support its extremist allies in the region.
