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.

Supreme Leader Khamenei responds after US president said he had sent letter to Tehran seeking new round of talks.

President Donald Trump sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, seeking a new deal with Tehran to restrain its rapidly advancing nuclear program and replace the agreement he withdrew America from during his first term in office.
