On March 7, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that he had sent a message to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, proposing direct talks on the nuclear program. However, Tehran rejected the idea of direct dialogue with the U.S., suggesting that negotiations could proceed through mediators.
On March 30, Trump warned that additional tariffs would be imposed on Iran in two weeks if nuclear talks failed. He also threatened unprecedented bombardments if Iran rejected the deal. In response, Khamenei expressed doubt over the likelihood of U.S. military intervention but warned that any attempt to incite unrest in Iran would trigger a strong reaction.
On April 7, Trump confirmed that Washington and Tehran have been holding direct consultations, which are set to continue at "almost the highest level" on Saturday, though he did not provide further details.
