Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations has rejected the latest claim that US President Donald Trump’s letter to the leader of the Islamic Revolution, seyed Ali Khamenei and proposed negotiations on a new nuclear deal.
“We have not received such letters yet,” the mission said Friday.
Earlier on Friday, Trump said he wanted to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran and wrote to the leaders on Thursday, saying he wanted them to agree to speak.
“I said I would like you to negotiate because it’s much better for Iran,” Trump argued in an interview with Fox Business Network on Friday.
“They want to get that letter,” he said. Another alternative argued that “we have to do something.”
Iran has repeatedly said it does not seek nuclear weapons, emphasizing that its nuclear technology is merely for civil purposes. There is also fatwa by the leaders of the Islamic Revolution, which bans the ownership and use of weapons of mass destruction.
