Trump’s letter to Iran on nuke talks delivered by UAE envoy 

While details of the letter remain undisclosed, reports suggest it calls for renewed dialogue over Iran’s nuclear activities….reports Asian Lite News

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has received a letter from US President Donald Trump regarding potential negotiations on Tehran’s nuclear programme, according to Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency. 

The letter was delivered by Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), during a meeting attended by Iranian officials, Xinhua reported, citing Fars. 

While details of the letter remain undisclosed, reports suggest it calls for renewed dialogue over Iran’s nuclear activities. Araghchi, speaking earlier on Wednesday, reiterated that Tehran has always been open to negotiations on equal terms, provided they are based on mutual respect. 

“Iran has never refused dialogue, but it must be held without coercion or preconditions,” he stated, according to Tasnim news agency. He emphasised that it was the US that unilaterally withdrew from the 2015 nuclear agreement, and Washington must demonstrate genuine commitment if it seeks meaningful negotiations. 

Tehran continues to engage with key European stakeholders, including France, Britain, and Germany, on nuclear and regional matters, Araghchi added. A new round of discussions is expected to take place soon, with simultaneous engagements involving other international players. 

Iran maintains that its nuclear programme operates within the framework of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and continues to advance dynamically. Araghchi reaffirmed that Iran would not accept any pressure-based negotiations or ultimatums from the US. 

Trump, in an interview with Fox Business Network last Friday, confirmed his desire to reinitiate talks with Iran and revealed that he had sent a letter to the country’s leadership. 

The 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was signed by Iran and six world powers—Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia, and the US—offering sanctions relief in exchange for nuclear restrictions. However, the US unilaterally exited the agreement in 2018 under Trump’s administration, reinstating sanctions that prompted Iran to scale back its commitments. 

Despite multiple efforts, attempts to revive the nuclear deal have made little headway. Iranian officials insist they will not negotiate under pressure or while US sanctions remain in place.
