Iran on Trump's message: It included opportunities and threats, and we will respond to them at the appropriate time.

3/20/2025

 

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi revealed on Thursday that the message sent by US President Donald Trump to Tehran included numerous "opportunities" in addition to the threats it contained, stressing that his country's response will take all these details into consideration.

In a television interview, Araghchi said that Tehran's response to Trump's message will encompass all its dimensions, including threats and opportunities. "However, we will absolutely not negotiate directly under pressure, threats, and tightening sanctions. We will respond to Trump's message in the coming days and send it through the appropriate channels."

He added, "The message is mostly threatening, but it also claims there are opportunities. We will see the dimensions of the threat and the opportunity."

The Iranian government announced on Thursday that Tehran is studying Trump's message and will respond at the appropriate time and in an appropriate manner.

Government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said, "The door to diplomatic negotiations will remain open if its etiquette is respected."

US media reports had previously indicated that Trump's letter to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei included a two-month deadline to reach a new nuclear agreement.

According to Axios, it is unclear whether the two-month deadline begins from the time the letter is delivered or from the start of negotiations. However, if Iran rejects Trump's initiative and does not negotiate, the chances of US or Israeli military action against Iranian nuclear facilities will increase significantly.

Two weeks ago, Trump revealed that he had sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader proposing direct negotiations.

The next day, Trump said the United States was "at the last resort" with Iran, adding, "We cannot allow them to have a nuclear weapon. Something will happen very soon. A peace deal is better than the other option. That option will solve the problem."

Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, delivered the letter a few days ago to UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed during a meeting in Abu Dhabi.

The next day, Mohammed bin Zayed's advisor, Anwar Gargash, traveled to Tehran and delivered the message to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

Sources told Axios that Trump's message to Khamenei was "firm." On the one hand, it proposed negotiations on a new nuclear agreement, but on the other, it warned of the consequences if Iran rejected the offer and continued to pursue its nuclear program.

Exclusive: Qaani in Baghdad on a quick visit, handing over a special message to faction leaders and politicians

3/19/2025

 

An informed source revealed that the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Esmail Qaani, made a brief, unannounced visit to Baghdad.

The source told Shafaq News Agency that Qaani held an important meeting with leaders of the Coordination Framework, in the presence of leaders of the factions and the Popular Mobilization Forces, as well as the Iranian ambassador to Baghdad.

He added that the meeting emphasized the need for Iraq to adhere to neutrality and not interfere in the Syrian conflict, as well as to control the security situation and prevent any attempts outside the framework of the state, amid warnings of dire consequences. The meeting also discussed the expected events following the US attack on the Houthis in Yemen, in addition to dismantling the security situation and the events taking place in the Middle East.

He continued, "Qaani's meeting included Iranian messages to the government, including support for the Iraqi government's position to maintain this balance and not engage with any party against another. However, if Iraq is subjected to an Israeli strike, Iran will not remain silent and will support any position issued by the government or any response issued by armed factions."

This comes after informed sources revealed to Shafaq News Agency that US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth delivered a strongly worded warning message to Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani during a phone call last Sunday.

He added that "Hegseth informed al-Sudani that any interference by Iraqi armed factions in the US targeting of the Houthis in Yemen would prompt Washington to launch a swift military response against those factions inside Iraq, and therefore they must be prevented from any interference, as happened previously in the wars in Lebanon and Gaza."

The sources added that "the US Secretary of Defense stressed to Al-Sudani the need to expedite the resolution of the issue of disarming the armed factions and work to dismantle them. He emphasized that this issue is of great interest to President Trump and his administration, while Al-Sudani confirmed that the government is working on this issue and is in dialogue with the armed parties to reach an agreement in this regard."

These warnings come after Israel resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip, ending a fragile truce that had lasted for weeks since the ceasefire went into effect in January. They also came after the US began airstrikes on Houthi positions in Yemen following their threat to maritime navigation.
