Iran accuses the United States of inciting violence and rejects nuclear talks under threat

Iran has filed a formal complaint with the United Nations, accusing Trump of inciting violence and making military threats against the country. Iran's UN envoy said Trump's rhetoric would escalate regional tensions, and Foreign Ministry spokesperson Araghchi said the US 'must be held accountable' for interference.

Iranian officials, including Araghchi, stated there has been no recent contact with US envoy Steve Witkoff and that Tehran will not negotiate with the United States under pressure or threat. They said talks on a nuclear deal would only be possible on a 'fair and equal footing,' while also warning they are prepared to resist any US attack.

Trump stated that Iran wants to negotiate and that he is planning to hold talks, but also warned that 'time is running out' for a nuclear deal. The US envoy to the UN said all options remain on the table regarding Iran. Other countries, including Turkey and China, have called for dialogue to reduce tensions.
