US President Donald Trump said Monday he is “not open” to offer Iran any concession amid their stalled peace talks.
Iran knows “what’s going to be happening soon,” Trump said in a threat to Tehran, according to statements given to The New York Post.
The comments come after Iran said on Monday it had responded to a new US proposal aimed at ending the war, adding that diplomatic exchanges continue despite Iranian media reports describing Washington's demands as excessive.
"As we announced yesterday, our concerns were conveyed to the American side," foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told a news briefing, adding that exchanges were "continuing through the Pakistani mediator".
Baqaei defended Iran's demands, including the release of Iranian assets frozen abroad and the lifting of long-standing sanctions.
On the possibility of Iran suspending uranium enrichment for 20 years, Trump said: “I’m not open to anything right now”.
“I can tell you they want to make a deal more than ever, because they know we’re—what’s going to be happening soon,” he continued, adding that he is not “frustrated” with Iran.
