Earlier, US President Donald Trump said that he had sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, adding that he would prefer to conclude a deal with Tehran on the Iranian nuclear program rather than try to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue militarily. Furthermore, Iran is holding consultations with three European countries (the United Kingdom, Germany, and France), as well as with Russia and China, to strengthen trust in the Iranian nuclear program in order to achieve lifting of the sanctions illegally imposed on Tehran, Araghchi said.The FM also reiterated that Iran's nuclear program has been and will always remain entirely peaceful, waiving concerns about potential militarization.The US enjoyed Iran's respect whenever it treated Tehran respectfully and faced confrontation whenever it adopted a threatening stance toward Tehran, the minister added.Last week, Araghchi said that Iran's nuclear program could not be destroyed by military means. The minister noted that Iran has the ability to give a "very powerful" response to any attack. He added that he did not believe that Israel would conduct military actions against Iran, since this, in his words, would lead to a large-scale conflict in the Middle East.

Tehran Does Not Negotiate Under Pressure: Foreign Minister on Nuclear Program Discussion
09:17 10.03.2025 (Updated: 09:48 11.03.2025) TEHRAN (Sputnik) - Iran will not negotiate under pressure, regardless of what is discussed during the talks, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in the context of discussions around the Iranian nuclear program.
Earlier, US President
Donald Trump said that he had sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, adding that he would prefer to conclude a deal with Tehran on the Iranian nuclear program rather than try to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue militarily.
"We will NOT negotiate under pressure and intimidation. We will NOT even consider it, no matter what the subject may be. Negotiation is different from bullying and issuing diktats," Araghchi said on X.
Furthermore, Iran is holding consultations with three European countries (the United Kingdom, Germany, and France), as well as with
Russia and China, to strengthen trust in the Iranian nuclear program in order to achieve lifting of the sanctions illegally imposed on Tehran, Araghchi said.
"We are now consulting with the E3—and separately with Russia and China—on equal footing and mutual respect. The aim is to explore ways to build more confidence and more transparency on our nuclear energy program in return for the lifting of unlawful sanctions," Araghchi said on X.
The FM also reiterated that Iran's nuclear program has been and will always remain entirely peaceful, waiving concerns about potential militarization.
"Iran's nuclear energy program has always been — and will always remain — entirely peaceful. There is fundamentally, therefore, no such thing as its 'potential militarization,'" Araghchi said on X.
The US enjoyed Iran's respect whenever it treated Tehran respectfully and faced confrontation whenever it adopted a threatening stance toward Tehran, the minister added.
"Every action compels a reaction," Araghchi said.
Last week, Araghchi said that Iran's nuclear program could not be destroyed by military means. The minister noted that Iran has the ability to give a "very powerful" response to any attack. He added that he did not believe that
Israel would conduct military actions against Iran, since this, in his words, would lead to a large-scale conflict in the Middle East.
