No letter received from US president: FM spox
TABNAK Mar. 10 - Tehran has once again said that it has not received a letter from U.S. President Donald Trump, days after he claimed to have sent such a letter to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esma’eel Baqayi said during a press conference on Monday that Iran has not received any letter from the US president.
In an interview on Friday, Trump claimed that he had sent a letter to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and proposed to negotiate with Iran on a new deal. Iran says it has not received any such letter, reiterating its position of not negotiating with Washington under pressure.
“Some foreign governments and domineering figures insist on negotiations, while their goal is not to resolve issues but to exert control and impose their own agendas,” Ayatollah Khamenei said on Saturday, dismissing the idea of negotiation with the U.S.
