Iran’s supreme leader: ‘There will not be a war with the US’
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei says, “There will not be a war with the US.”
In a television speech, he also stresses, however, that Tehran will not negotiate with Washington over the nuclear deal which the latter quit last year.
Khamenei speaks soon after a close adviser to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned US President Donald Trump that it “looks like you are going to get a war” with Iran.
In an English-language tweet tagging Trump, Hesameddin Ashena said: “You wanted a better deal with Iran. Looks like you are going to get a war instead.”
