Iran's Khamenei rejects Trump offer of talks, denies US destroyed Iranian nuclear capabilities

  • On Oct 20, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected renewed talks from U.S. President Donald Trump and denied his claim, telling Trump to `keep dreaming` at a Monday meeting with athletes.
  • Last week at the Israeli Knesset, U.S. President Donald Trump said the US had `obliterated` Iranian nuclear sites and dropped 14 bombs on key facilities.
  • In mid-June, Israel launched an unprecedented bombing campaign during a 12-day air war following five rounds of indirect negotiations, with the Pentagon saying the strikes delayed Iran's nuclear programme by one to two years.
  • Khamenei condemned Donald Trump’s rhetoric as bullying aimed to `raise the spirit of the Zionists` and challenged US authority, asking `Who are you to say what a country should or should not have` while Tehran maintains its civilian nuclear programme.
  • Last week Donald Trump, U.S. President, said he would welcome a `peace deal` with Tehran after a ceasefire in Gaza, though the true impact of US strikes remains unknown.
