US President Donald Trump said on Monday he was not offering Iran anything nor talking to it “since we totally obliterated” the country’s nuclear facilities.
“I am not offering Iran ANYTHING, unlike Obama,” Trump wrote on social media.
“Nor am I even talking to them since we totally OBLITERATED their Nuclear Facilities.”
The statement comes as Iran’s deputy foreign minister told the BBC that talks between Washington and Tehran cannot resume unless the US rules out further strikes on Iran.
Majid Takht-Ravanchi told the British broadcaster that the US had signalled it wants to return to the negotiating table, a week after it struck three Iranian nuclear facilities.
“We have not agreed to any date, we have not agreed to the modality,” Takht-Ravanchi said.
