Pezeshkian to Trump: "Do whatever the hell you want" regarding nuclear deal

Iran’s President has blatantly rejected any potential nuclear negotiations with the United States and sent a brutal message to President Donald Trump.

President Masoud Pezeshkian also slammed US foreign policy, telling Trump he should be ‘ashamed’ of himself after ‘what he did to Zelensky’ in the Oval Office.

Days ago, the Iranian government said they would consider negotiations with the United States if the talks were confined to concerns about the militarisation of its nuclear programme.

Iran’s UN mission posted on X: ‘If the objective of negotiations is to address concerns vis-a-vis any potential militarisation of Iran’s nuclear programme, such discussions may be subject to consideration.’

The government has since done a 180 on their previous statements, where they seemed open to potential talks. Mr Pezeshkian now has outright rejected negotiations with the US.

‘Do whatever the hell you want,’ he remarked.

Trump had sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, hoping to seek a new deal with Tehran to restrain its rapidly advancing nuclear programme.

Khamenei said the talks would not solve problems between Iran and the West.

Iran added in a statement: ‘However, should the aim [of the talks] be the dismantlement of Iran’s peaceful nuclear programme to claim that what Obama failed to achieve has now been accomplished, such negotiations will never take place.’

Both Israel and the United States have warned they will never let Iran acquire a nuclear weapon.

But Tehran has continued to enrich uranium at near weapons-grade levels – something only done by atomic-armed nations.

Tehran has long maintained its programme is for peaceful purposes, even as its officials increasingly threaten to pursue the bomb.

In 2010, a single USB stick helped sabotage Iran’s nuclear programme. That same device contained the infamous Stuxnet worm.

It infiltrated the Iranian nuclear programme in 2010, marking the first time a country attacked the critical infrastructure of another state.

In the uranium enrichment facility, radioactive chemical elements spin around quickly in centrifuges to enrich them.

But it has one weakness – USB ports. As a result of the worm, the Iranian uranium enrichment programme was ‘broken’.
