Khamenei Rejected Negotiations With The US - Tehran

Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the aerospace unit of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), (M), attended the meeting of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has ruled out any possibility of negotiations with the United States, emphasizing that Washington is only pushing new demands that, according to him, "Iran will never accept." Khamenei made this statement a day after U.S. President Donald Trump sent a letter to Iran, saying: "Some governments and authoritarian figures insist on negotiations, but their goal is not to resolve issues; rather, they seek to impose their views." Trump on Friday (March 8) said that he had sent a letter to Khamenei and invited Tehran to new nuclear negotiations. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said he rejects a U.S. push for talks between the two countries because they would be aimed at imposing restrictions on Iranian missile range and its influence in the region. Speaking to a group of officials on Saturday, Khamenei did not identify the United States by name but said
