Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated that negotiations with the U.S. are neither intelligent nor honorable, contradicting earlier signals from Tehran about potential talks over its nuclear program. His comments follow President Trump's expression of interest in a new nuclear deal, juxtaposed against the backdrop of renewed sanctions. Khamenei's remarks suggest a complicated dynamic as Iran's reformist leadership seeks dialogue while facing hardline opposition, leaving the future of U.S.-Iran diplomatic relations uncertain.
