Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal for nuclear talks, calling it a “deception.”
Trump’s letter, delivered via UAE officials, urged negotiations but warned of military action if no deal is reached.
Khamenei, who has not seen the letter, stated that talks with the Trump administration, known for its “excessive demands,” would only worsen sanctions and pressure on Iran.

In 2018, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear deal, reimposing sanctions that have severely impacted Iran’s economy.
Despite tensions, the UAE, a key U.S. ally, maintains strong trade ties with Iran.
