Iran says it is willing to hold indirect talks with the United States after US President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to reach a new nuclear deal.
"The door is open for indirect talks," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Monday, AFP reported.
However, he rejected direct talks with Washington "unless there is a change in the attitude of the other side towards Iran."
He also stressed that as long as Trump maintains the "maximum pressure" policy, Tehran will not engage in direct negotiations with Washington under threat.
Trump earlier sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei asking for negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue. In the letter, he gave Iran an "ultimatum" to reach a new nuclear deal within two months or face serious consequences.
However, Khamenei responded that he would not negotiate under pressure from a "bullying government."
U.S. Middle East envoy Vitkoff said on Friday that Trump's goal was to avoid military conflict by building trust with Iran and insisted the letter was not a threat.
Trump withdrew from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal during his first term.
