Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has firmly rejected US President Donald Trump's claims about destroyed Iranian nuclear facilities and dismissed offers for renewed diplomatic talks. Khamenei characterized Washington's approach as "bullying" rather than negotiation, questioned US authority over Iran's nuclear program, and accused America of being complicit in Gaza war crimes. The statement comes after five rounds of indirect nuclear negotiations that ended with a military confrontation in June.
