Iranian officials have clarified that Tehran has not formally requested or initiated negotiations with Washington, especially in an atmosphere of military threats and pressure, insisting that meaningful dialogue can only take place with mutual respect and without coercion. Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly warned Tehran that “time is running out” to negotiate a nuclear deal and urged Iranian leaders to come to the table to agree on ending their nuclear weapons ambitions. Trump issued these statements as a large U.S. naval armada, led by the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group, is reportedly moving toward the region — a show of force meant to pressure Iran into negotiations.
