Iranian leader on proposed nuclear talks with the US: 'there should be no negotiations with such a government'
Trump wants a deal for Ukraine's natural resources as 'payback' in exchange for aid stopping Russia attack: envoy
Khamenei’s remarks upend months of signals from Tehran to the United States that it wanted to negotiate over its rapidly advancing nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of crushing economic sanctions worth billions of dollars. Following Khamenei’s comments, the Iranian rial sunk to a record low of 872,000 rials to $1 in aftermarket trading.Khamenei said that negotiations with America “are not intelligent, wise or honorable” after President Donald Trump floated nuclear talks with Tehran.
“The Americans did not uphold their end of the deal,” Khamenei said. “The very person who is in office today tore up the agreement. He said he would, and he did.” Trump followed with another online message on Wednesday, saying: “Reports that the United States, working in conjunction with Israel, is going to blow Iran into smithereens, ARE GREATLY EXAGGERATED.”
“They come and inspect one hundred times more since we are not supposed to go after” a nuclear weapon, Pezeshkian told foreign diplomats. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei called the Treasury’s decision “completely unjustified and contrary to international rules and regulations.”
