United States President, Donald Trump, has spoken on turning down Iran’s request to become their Supreme Leader.
Newspotng reports that Trump made the claim on Wednesday during the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) annual fundraising dinner in Washington, D.C.
Trump said Iran wanted him to be their Supreme Leader, but he refused, adding that they want to make a deal so badly, but they are afraid to say it.
He said, “Iran wants me to be their Supreme Leader but I don’t want. Thank you. It’s never been the head of a country that wanted that job less than being the head of Iran. I don’t want it.”
The Republicans equally stated that the war in the Middle East was a military operation, claiming that the US is decimating Iran.
Meanwhile, Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, has dismissed claims of ongoing negotiations between Tehran and Washington, contradicting remarks by Trump suggesting progress toward ending the conflict.
“We have heard such reports in the media, but according to my information, no direct or indirect talks have taken place so far,” AFP quoted the envoy as saying.
He added that while friendly nations often attempt to mediate, there was no concrete engagement between both sides, describing current hostilities as “illegitimate aggression.”
Echoing the ambassador’s position, Iran’s military also rejected Washington’s assertions of diplomacy.
Spokesperson of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Ebrahim Zolfaqari, said the United States was effectively “negotiating with itself,” according to state media.
He warned that regional stability would remain tied to Iran’s military posture, stressing that pre-war economic conditions would not return unless Washington altered its approach.
