Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced its intention to respond to a recent letter from U.S. President Donald Trump after a comprehensive review. The letter, delivered by an Emirati official, proposes new nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran. However, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has already dismissed the proposal, labeling it as deceptive.
In a related development, the United States conducted significant airstrikes in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, targeting Iran-backed Houthi rebels. This action follows Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea and is perceived as a signal to Iran amid ongoing tensions over nuclear discussions. President Trump emphasized that these strikes aim to protect American assets and ensure navigational freedom, holding Iran accountable for the Houthis’ actions.
The airstrikes resulted in over 30 fatalities and more than 100 injuries. Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi has vowed to continue assaults on American shipping if U.S. attacks persist. Iran’s Foreign Minister criticized the U.S. actions, urging an end to Yemeni civilian casualties.
These events underscore the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, particularly concerning Iran’s nuclear program and regional influence. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, hoping for a diplomatic resolution to prevent further instability in the Middle East.
