Tehran and Washington engaged in five rounds of indirect nuclear negotiations that ended with the 12-day air war in June in which Israel and the US bombed Iranian nuclear sites. &#8220;Trump says he is a dealmaker, but if a deal is accompanied by coercion and its outcome is predetermined, it is not a deal but rather an imposition and bullying,&#8221; Khamenei said according to state media. Last week, Trump told the Israeli parliament that it would be great if Washington could negotiate a &#8220;peace deal&#8221; with Tehran, following the start of a ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Palestinian group Hamas. &#8220;The US president proudly says they bombed and destroyed Iran&#8217;s nuclear industry. Very well, keep dreaming!&#8221; Khamenei added. &#8220;What does it have to do with America whether Iran has nuclear facilities or not? These interventions are inappropriate, wrong and coercive.&#8221; Western powers accuse Iran of covertly trying to develop a nuclear bomb through enrichment of uranium, and want it to cease such activity. Tehran denies seeking to weaponise enrichment, saying the programme has solely civilian energy purposes.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DUBAI(National times)- Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Monday rejected an offer of renewed talks from US President Donald Trump and denied his assertion that the United States has destroyed Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities.
