Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed an invitation from President Donald Trump to reopen nuclear talks, flatly denying the claim that Washington has eliminated Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
In recent months, Tehran and Washington held five indirect negotiation rounds, which ultimately collapsed following a 12-day aerial offensive in June when Israel and the United States struck Iranian nuclear installations.
“Trump says he is a dealmaker, but if a deal is accompanied by coercion and its outcome is predetermined, it is not a deal but rather an imposition and bullying,” Khamenei declared through Iranian state outlets.
Trump had told the Knesset last week that the United States would welcome the chance to broker a “peace deal” with Tehran now that a truce between Israel and Hamas had taken hold in Gaza.
“The U.S. president proudly says they bombed and destroyed Iran’s nuclear industry. Very well, keep dreaming!” Khamenei scoffed, rejecting Washington’s claims.
He went on to question America’s involvement altogether, saying, “What does it have to do with America whether Iran has nuclear facilities or not? These interventions are inappropriate, wrong and coercive.”
Western nations continue to accuse Tehran of secretly pursuing a nuclear weapons program through uranium enrichment, while Iranian officials maintain the initiative is entirely for civilian power generation and not for building bombs.
