TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on Tuesday that he would not negotiate about Iran's nuclear program with President Donald Trump in the United States. “Do whatever the hell you want.”
"If you're threatening me, I won't negotiate—do whatever the hell you want," Pezeshkian said at an event in Tehran regarding Trump's threats against Iran as reported by Anadolu.
As quoted by Iranian state media, Pezeshkian said it is unacceptable if the U.S. gives orders and makes threats to Iran.
Criticizing Trump's treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, Pezeshkian said: “One really feels ashamed of what Trump did to Zelenskyy."
The statement by Iran's President follows Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's statement that they will not be ''intimidated'' into negotiations.
On Saturday, Iran denied Trump's claim that he had sent a letter to Khamenei, proposing nuclear negotiations with Tehran.
Trump said in a statement on Friday that he hoped Iran would enter into negotiations. He said it will be much better if Iran negotiates with the U.S., before warning Tehran about the potential for military action.
In 2018, Trump unilaterally withdrew from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions on Tehran.
Although complying with the nuclear agreement for over a year after the U.S. withdrawal, Iran gradually reduced its commitments, citing the failure of the remaining signatories to protect its interests.
