Iran Rejects Trump's Nuclear Deal Proposal, Citing U.S. 'Bullying'

Ayatollah Khamenei accuses the U.S. of using negotiations to impose demands as Iran accelerates uranium enrichment near weapons-grade levels.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed President Donald Trump’s proposal for nuclear negotiations, accusing the U.S. of coercive tactics aimed at imposing its expectations.
Trump revealed he had sent a letter urging Iran to negotiate, warning that military action remains an option if an agreement is not reached.
Khamenei stated that negotiations with 'bullying governments' are unacceptable and claimed they are used to enforce new demands, including restrictions on Iran's defense capabilities and missile programs.
The U.N. nuclear watchdog has cautioned that Iran’s uranium enrichment is nearing weapons-grade levels, with time for diplomatic solutions running out.
Iran continues to assert that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, while U.S. sanctions under Trump’s 'maximum pressure' campaign have severely impacted its economy.
