Trump's letter delivered to Iranian Foreign Minister

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA)-Tehran: Anwar Gargash, diplomatic advisor to the President of the United Arab Emirates, met and talked with the country's Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araqchi at the Iranian Foreign Ministry this afternoon (Wednesday), March 12.

 

He, who is carrying the letter from US President Donald Trump, delivered the letter to the head of the diplomatic service of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

 

Araqchi told reporters today (Wednesday), March 12, about the letter from US President Donald Trump to high-ranking Iranian officials that Trump wrote a letter, but it has not yet reached us, but an envoy from one of the Arab countries is scheduled to deliver it to us in Tehran soon.

 

Esmail Baghaei, spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, also confirmed today that the Emirati official is carrying Trump's letter. The Axios news website also announced that Steve Whittaker, Trump's special envoy for the Middle East, delivered Trump's letter to him during a trip to Abu Dhabi yesterday and a meeting with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed.

 

US President Donald Trump recently claimed in an interview with Fox Business that he had sent a letter to senior Iranian officials, stating that he wanted negotiations. After that, the Iranian Permanent Mission to the United Nations (Friday, March 6) announced in response to Donald Trump's claim: "We have not received such a letter yet." Three days later, on march 9, Esmail Baghai Sahkhangovi of the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a weekly press conference: "No, no letter has been received."

 

According to Fars, on March 7, during a meeting with officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Revolution, stated that the insistence of some bully governments on negotiations is not to solve problems, but to impose their own expectations. The Islamic Republic of Iran will definitely not accept their expectations.

 

On the other hand, Seyyed Abbas Araqchi also clearly stated that there will be no possibility of direct negotiations between us and the US on the nuclear issue as long as maximum pressure is applied in this form.
