Iran Tells Donald Trump To ‘Do Whatever The Hell He Wants’ Over Nuclear Deal Talks
In his statement, Pezeshkian directly addressed Donald Trump, saying, “Do whatever the hell you want,” Iranian state media reported on Tuesday. “It is unacceptable for us that they (the U.S.) give orders and make threats. I won’t even negotiate with you. Do whatever the hell you want,” he was quoted as saying.
Iranian President, Masoud Pezeshkian, has told his United States counterpart, Donald Trump, to “do the hell whatever he wants,” emphasising that Iran will not negotiate under threats.
In his statement, Pezeshkian directly addressed Donald Trump, saying, “Do whatever the hell you want,” Iranian state media reported on Tuesday. “It is unacceptable for us that they (the U.S.) give orders and make threats. I won’t even negotiate with you. Do whatever the hell you want,” he was quoted as saying.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, echoed this stance on Saturday, stating that Tehran would not be pressured into negotiations.
His remarks came a day after Trump claimed he had sent a letter urging Iran to engage in talks on a new nuclear deal.
Iran has accelerated its nuclear activities since 2019, a year after then-President Trump withdrew from Tehran’s 2015 nuclear pact with six world powers and reimposed crippling economic sanctions.
While expressing openness to a deal, Trump has reinstated the “maximum pressure” campaign from his first term, aiming to isolate Iran from the global economy and reduce its oil exports to near zero.
In an interview with Fox Business last week, Trump said, “There are two ways Iran can be handled: militarily, or you make a deal,” referring to efforts to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Iran has long denied seeking nuclear weapons. However, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has warned that Tehran is “dramatically” accelerating uranium enrichment to 60% purity—close to the 90% weapons-grade level.
