BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:10 P.M.) - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected the US offer to hold talks with Iran, saying "I address the people on the matter in a few words: There will be no war, nor will we negotiate with the US," during a speech at Imam Khomeini's Hosseinieh in Tehran, Sunday.
Khamenei stated that the "Islamic Republic of Iran and the Iranian nation are a collective. If anybody invades it, it [Iran and its nation] might strike it, but the point is that it itself [they who invade Iran] will receive a greater impact, as it has been until now."
"Negotiations with a highly demanding regime and a bullying one like the US are not a tool to decrease hostility, negotiation is not a tool to lessen hostilities with the US, but negotiation is a tool in its hands to impose hostility," Khamenei stated.
