Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated in a reply letter sent to US President Donald Trump that talks could continue through intermediaries rather than direct dialogue. Pezeshkian emphasized that direct negotiations between the two sides are not accepted, but that the path for indirect discussions remains open.

The letter conveyed by Tehran stated that Iran has not rejected direct talks in principle in the past, but that the US's failure to fulfill its commitments has led to a crisis of trust. The letter also sent the message that the future of the negotiation process will depend on the attitude of the Americans.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced on March 27 that an official response had been delivered via Oman to the letter Trump sent to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Araghchi stated that the response contained two documents, which included Iran's perspective on global developments and responses to Trump's proposals.

In a statement made via social media on March 7, Trump had announced that he had conveyed a proposal for negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program to Khamenei. Khamenei had rejected this proposal, arguing that Washington only looks out for its own interests.
