Iran's Supreme Leader Refutes Trump's Request for Nuclear Talks
ai generated text
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has rejected a US push for talks between the two countries. He made this statement in an apparent response to a letter sent by the White House earlier in the week, which President Donald Trump said was meant to initiate a new round of nuclear talks. However, Khamenei claims that the US is not seeking negotiations, but rather imposing demands on Iran. He characterized the US as a "bullying government" that seeks to dominate others, rather than resolve issues through dialogue.
We have a situation with Iran that, something's going to happen very soon. Very, very soon.
There are two ways Iran can be handled, militarily or you make a deal.
I would prefer to make a deal, because I'm not looking to hurt Iran. They're great people.
Our talks with Europeans have been ongoing and will continue … however, any decision by the UN Security Council or board of governors of the UN nuclear watchdog to pressure us will put under question the legitimacy of these talks.
You say that Iran has not fulfilled its commitments under the JCPOA. OK, have you fulfilled your commitments under the JCPOA?
If we wanted to build nuclear weapons, the US would not be able to stop it. We ourselves do not want it.
We negotiated for years, reached a complete and signed agreement, and then this individual tore it up.
The Islamic Republic of Iran will definitely not accept their demands.
It is not negotiation. It is commanding and imposition.
For them, negotiation is a means to introduce new demands. The issue is not just about nuclear matters, they raise new expectations that Iran will certainly not accept.
I'm not sure that everybody agrees with me, but we can make a deal that would be just as good as if you won militarily. But the time is happening now, the time is coming up. Something is going to happen one way or the other.
They will be about defense capabilities, about international capabilities of the country. [They will urge Iran] not to do [certain] things, not to meet some certain people, not to go to a certain place, not to produce some items, your missile range should not be more than a certain distance. Is it possible for anybody to accept these?
