“We’ve heard it (the letter) but we haven’t received anything,” Araguchi told reporters on Saturday.
He added that Iran never agreed to negotiations that implied coercion.
An Iranian diplomat made his remarks after the US president wrote a letter to the leader of the Islamic Revolution on Friday, claiming that Ali Khamenei had proposed to negotiate with Iran on a deal on the country’s nuclear program.
“I said I would like you to negotiate because it would be much better for Iran,” Trump insisted before threatening Tehran with military action.
Trump’s claim was quickly dismissed by Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations, which said, “We have not received such letters yet.”
On Saturday, Ayatollah Khamenei said that some of the bullying powers claims to carry out consultations with Iran are not aiming to resolve the issue, but rather aims to assert and impose his own expectations.
“The Islamic Republic will never accept their expectations,” added Ayatollah Khamenei.
In May 2018, Trump took Washington from a multilateral international agreement formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed in 2015 between Iran, the UN Security Council and five permanent members of Germany.
With the UNSC approved agreement, Iran demanded that some of its nuclear activities be reduced in exchange for lifting the cruel sanctions imposed by the United States, particularly in the event of a slump.
Trump then imposed serious economic sanctions on Tehran, and Iran has adhered to its commitment under the contract, continuing to do so for a year after the US withdrawal.
After witnessing the failure of other parties that failed to secure profits under the contract, Tehran began to reduce its commitment under the JCPOA with a series of pre-released clear steps.
