The Trump administration has responded to a message from Iran’s president, conveyed through the Saudi crown prince, by saying its three conditions for any negotiations with Tehran remain unchanged, sources told Iran International.
IRAN INTERNATIONAL -- President Masoud Pezeshkian asked Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on the eve of his trip to Washington DC last week to act as an intermediary between Iran and the United States to help prepare the conditions for resuming talks, sources said.
In a confidential message delivered through Riyadh, Washington informed Tehran that it would return to the negotiating table only if Iran accepts the three demands previously outlined to Iranian negotiators by Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy, the sources added.
The United States has long insisted that Iran must completely halt its uranium enrichment program, stop supporting its armed allies in the Middle East, and accept restrictions on its ballistic missile program.
