Trump pushes for a new nuclear deal with Iran to avoid military action, but Khamenei rejects talks, calling it a deception as US sanctions pressure Tehran.
Araghchi said that Iran was not opposed to talks out of "stubbornness" but rather as a result of history and experience.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected Trump's letter last week as deceptive, saying Trump's excessive demands would 'tighten the knot of sanctions and increase pressure on Iran.'
"Iran's position regarding nuclear talks is clear and we will not negotiate under pressure and sanctions," Araghchi said.
