Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has rebuffed calls for new negotiations a day after President Donald Trump announced that he had reached out in an attempt to begin negotiations on a new nuclear agreement with Tehran.
Addressing Iranian government officials on March 8, Khamenei said he’s not interested in bending to international pressure. Without directly naming Trump or the United States, Iran’s ruling cleric said that “some foreign governments and domineering figures insist on negotiations, while their goal is not to resolve issues but to exert control and impose their own agendas.”
