Iran Says It Won’t Negotiate With the US Until Trump’s Term Ends in 2029

Iran says it will not negotiate with the United States until Donald Trump’s term ends in 2029. The statement reflects Tehran’s stance that US engagement is tied to the political timeline in Washington rather than immediate diplomatic openings. By setting a distant condition, Iran appears to be reducing the likelihood of near-term talks and signaling continued leverage through delay. The claim may also be aimed at shaping domestic expectations and international perceptions of Iran’s negotiating posture. US officials have not yet responded in detail, but the position likely complicates any interim diplomacy.
