Tehran: Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday his country will neither wage a war against the US nor conduct negotiations with it. Khamenei’s remarks came in response to statements from US President Donald Trump regarding entering into a dialogue to reach a new agreement with Tehran, Press TV said.
“Let me address the people on the matter in a few words: There will be no war, nor will we negotiate with the US,” the Iranian leader said.
Slamming Washington over its withdrawal from the landmark nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Khamenei said: “Why should we sit for negotiations with a bullying (and) cheating regime, which negotiates like this?”
Iran’s defence minister unveiled the next generation of Tehran’s Fateh Mobin short-range ballistic missile on Monday, conservative news agency Tasnim said. -Agencies
