Iran says it would consider negotiations with the United States if talks were confined to concerns about the militarization of the country’s nuclear program.

Iran would consider negotiations with the U.S. if the aim of the talks was to address concerns regarding any potential militarization of its nuclear program, Iran's U.N. mission said on Sunday in a post on X.

Iran's Supreme leader has criticised "bullying" countries in an apparent response to Donald Trump's letter demanding negotiations over its nuclear programme. Trump said on Friday he had warned Tehran in a letter it could face military action unless it agreed to talks for a nuclear deal.
