Iran says it will not negotiate under \”intimidation\” US President Donald Trump has sought to ratchet up pressure on Tehran by ending a sanctions waiver. Iran supplies a third of Iraq’s gas and electricity, providing Tehran with substantial income. Iran’s mission to the U.N. had indicated Sunday that Tehran might be open to talks aimed at addressing US concerns about the potential militarisation of its nuclear programme. But on Monday, Iran’s top diplomat seemed to slam the door on such discussions, saying there was \”no such thing as its ‘potential militarization’\”We will NOT negotiate under pressure and intimidation. We will NOT even consider it, no matter what the subject may be,\” foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said on social media platform X.icating the end of the energy waiver is expected to worsen the power shortages that affect the daily lives of 46 million Iraqis. The waiver for Iraq was introduced in 2018, when Washington reimposed sanctions on Tehran after Trump abandoned a nuclear deal with Iran negotiated under Obama.
