Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent calls for a new deal restricting Iran’s nuclear program. Khamenei cited Trump’s withdrawal from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) during his first term as justification, although other Iranian officials expressed openness to negotiations with the United States.
