Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has categorically rejected a peace negotiation proposal from President Donald Trump, accusing the US of attempting to “bully” Iran into compliance.
What Happened: Khamenei dismissed the idea of engaging in dialogues with Washington. He alleged that Trump’s objective was not to resolve issues but to “impose their own expectations,” as per Iranian state media.
“The insistence of some bully governments on negotiations is not to resolve issues, but to dominate and impose their own expectations,” The New York Post quoted Khamenei saying in a meeting.
Khamenei also took to social media to express his viewpoint, stating that for coercive governments, negotiation is a tool to put forward new demands, a notion that Iran refuses to accept. He refrained from directly mentioning the US in his comments.
