Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed on Wednesday that US President Donald Trump's re-imposition of a "maximum pressure" policy against Iran will end in "failure" as happened during his first term.

"I believe that maximum pressure is a failed experiment and trying to exercise it again will lead to another failure," Araghchi told reporters after a cabinet meeting, adding that Tehran was not seeking nuclear weapons.

The Iranian Foreign Minister stressed that his country's position on nuclear weapons is clear, as a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, saying: "If Iran's acquisition of a nuclear weapon is an obstacle for the United States, this problem can be solved, and Tehran's commitment to the nuclear non-proliferation regime is clear to everyone."

He considered that Trump's concerns about Tehran obtaining nuclear weapons are baseless, stressing that his country is committed to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The remarks came after Iranian government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said earlier today that her country's foreign policy was driven by principles of self-interest.

US President Trump said on Tuesday during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he wants to make a deal with Tehran.

"I want to make a deal with you if you want to move on with your life and take care of your people, because there are wonderful people in Tehran, I have wonderful friends in Iran and Iranian-Americans," he added.

Meanwhile, Trump signed a presidential memorandum on Tuesday to reimpose tough sanctions on Tehran, similar to what happened during his first term. He made it clear that he intends to resume the policy of "maximum pressure" over allegations that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned in a television interview, before Trump's inauguration, of the danger of a war breaking out against the Islamic Republic, stressing that Tehran is not seeking to obtain nuclear weapons.

"I hope that Trump will lead to regional and global peace, and will not, on the contrary, contribute to a bloodbath or war," he said.
