Iran rejects direct talks with U.S. over its nuclear program

On March 30, 2025, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that Tehran rejected direct negotiations with the administration of US President Donald Trump regarding the country's nuclear program, but signaled a willingness for indirect talks.
This decision followed a letter from Trump to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier in March, pressing for new negotiations on a nuclear deal, and was conveyed to the U.S. Through Oman.
Tensions between the two nations are escalating, particularly after Trump withdrew the U.S. From the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018 and reimposed sanctions, while Iran has advanced its nuclear program, enriching uranium at near weapons-grade levels, though asserting it's for peaceful purposes.
Trump threatened military action and secondary tariffs if Tehran does not agree to a deal, stating in an NBC interview, "If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing and it will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before."
Despite rejecting direct talks, Iran, battered by sanctions, has left open the possibility of indirect negotiations to evaluate the other party, state its conditions, and make an appropriate decision, though Khamenei has expressed distrust of negotiating with the Trump administration.
