US President Donald Trump has said that he sent a letter to Iran on Thursday in a bid to negotiate a nuclear deal, saying that he hoped the latter would agree to talk.
“I said I hope you’re going to negotiate, because it’s going to be a lot better for Iran,” Trump said in an interview with Fox Business Network broadcast on Friday, as reported by news agency Reuters.
The letter, which is likely addressed to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Trump said, “I think they want to get that letter. The other alternative is we have to do something, because you can’t let another nuclear weapon.”
Earlier on Friday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov discussed global efforts to resolve the situation around Iran’s nuclear program with Iranian ambassador Kazem Jalali, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
