DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says that Tehran will not negotiate under pressure from a “bullying country,” a day after US President Donald Trump said he had sent a letter to the country’s top authority to negotiate a nuclear deal.
In an interview with Fox Business, Trump says, “There are two ways Iran can be handled: militarily, or you make a deal” to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
