Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, stated on Friday in Istanbul that Iran will not engage in direct negotiations with the United States while under threat from President Trump. Araghchi emphasized that talks must be based on a fair approach, ruling out discussions about Iran's ballistic missiles, which he considers essential for security. President Trump has threatened military action to force Iran to halt its nuclear program, limit its missiles, and end support for allied militias. Iran has vowed retaliation against any American attacks, potentially targeting U.S. bases or allies. Several countries in the region are urging de-escalation, fearing a regional war.
