Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Tehran will not be pressured into talks, rejecting U.S. efforts to negotiate a nuclear deal. His remarks came a day after Donald Trump revealed he had sent a letter seeking discussions.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed calls for negotiations with the United States, saying Tehran would not accept what he described as "bullying" tactics. His comments came after former U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox Business that Iran could either negotiate or face military action to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Speaking to senior Iranian officials, Khamenei said Washington’s offer was not about resolving disputes but about exerting control.
