Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated that nuclear talks with the U.S. would not be wise, contradicting his previous indications of openness to negotiations. President Trump responded by proposing a 'verified nuclear peace agreement' with Iran. Khamenei criticized the U.S. for not upholding their end of the Iran Nuclear Deal and referenced Trump's withdrawal from the agreement. Iran has enriched its uranium to 60% purity, close to weapons grade. In addition, President Trump made headlines with his proposal for the U.S. to take over Gaza during the Israel-Hamas conflict.
