Iran says it would consider negotiations with the United States if talks were confined to concerns about the militarization of the country’s nuclear program

Iran is open to discussing concerns about its nuclear programme’s potential militarisation, per a statement by its UN mission. However, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei rejected talks with the US, asserting that demands to restrict Iran's missile programme and regional influence would not resolve issues.

Iran’s U.N. mission said it would be willing to discuss its nuclear program if talks were restricted to military concerns, after its supreme leader appeared to reject President Trump’s offer to start discussions.
