Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says he rejects a U.S. push for talks between the two countries because they would be aimed at imposing restrictions on Iranian missile range and its regional influence.

The Iranian leader called the U.S. administration a “bully government” not interested in “resolving issues”

While a more measured version of "maximum pressure" sanctions has been reintroduced on Iran, Trump has taken pains to show his desire to reach an accord.
