Trump revealed this week that he was seeking to strike a new deal with the Iranian regime, after withdrawing from an Obama-era agreement in his first term.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said the goal of some bullying powers that insist on negotiations is not to resolve issues but to exert control and impose their own agendas.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei declared that the nation will not negotiate under US pressure, asserting that Washington aims to impose its expectations. Khamenei emphasized that Iran will not accept new demands related to its defense capabilities or international influence.
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday slammed what he described as bullying tactics a day after US President Donald Trump threatened military action against Iran.
