US President Donald Trump said on Monday that the US is conducting direct negotiations with Iran about his nuclear program. He again stressed that Tehran could not get nuclear weapons. Iranian officials have repeatedly rejected direct negotiations with the US. This is reported by TASR based on Reuters report.
“We are conducting direct interviews with Iran that have already begun. They will continue on Saturday. We have a very important meeting and see what can happen. I think everyone will agree that it would be better to conclude an agreement, ”Trump told journalists after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
During his first term of office in 2018, Trump resigned from the so -called. nuclear agreement between Iran and the superpowers concluded in 2015. According to the agreement, sanctions imposed on Iran were alleviated in exchange for limiting its nuclear activities. Tehran has ceased to comply with the terms of the agreement in response to the US resignation and progressed significantly in nuclear development, Reuters recalled.
Last month, the US President sent a letter to Tehran. In it, Iran urged him to decide whether to start new negotiations or the country would bear stricter sanctions under Trump’s “maximum pressure policy”. Both countries have interrupted diplomatic relations during the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979. Their communication has since been mediated by the Swiss Embassy in Tehran. Indirect interviews also mediated Oman within the so -called. mascry process.
