The offer by the United States to negotiate with Iran is a deception, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Wednesday in remarks published on his official website.
U.S. President Donald Trump has said he is willing to hold talks with the Islamic Republic.
"Negotiations are a deception for what they want. A weapon is in your hands and they don't dare come close. They say He also said Iran wouldn't retreat in the face of "cruel" U.S. sanctions and "insults," days after Washington imposed sanctions on him and other top officials in the country.
"The most vicious officials of the [U.S.] government accuse Iran and insult it. The Iranian nation will not give in and retreat in the face of such insults," Khamenei was quoted as saying by his official website.
