Trump Sends Letter to Iran's Khamenei, Seeks New Nuclear Deal

President Donald Trump has sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, expressing his desire to negotiate a new nuclear agreement to replace the one he withdrew from in 2018. In an interview, Trump emphasized that he hopes Iran will engage in talks, asserting that it would be beneficial for the country, while warning of severe consequences if they do not. The move comes amid ongoing tensions, with the U.S. and Israel opposing Iran's potential acquisition of nuclear weapons. The White House has not commented on the letter, and Khamenei's response remains unconfirmed. The initiative reflects an ongoing strategy of 'maximum pressure' against Iran, coupled with a willingness to negotiate, as highlighted by National Security Council statements. Additionally, discussions have emerged about potential Russian mediation in future nuclear talks.
