Iran’s Khamenei Says Talks With Trump Will Lead to More Sanctions

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said his country is not pursuing nuclear weapons and dismissed US President Donald Trump’s calls for negotiations as a “trick.”

While doubling down on his position opposing talks with the Trump administration about Tehran’s atomic activities, Khamenei said he isn’t after a war but that Iran would “definitely” hit back in the event of a military attack.
