Iran rejected US President Donald Trump’s contention that peace talks could continue without a ceasefire, saying Washington must meet Tehran’s conditions for resolving transit issues through the Strait of Hormuz and normalizing its oil exports.
While Trump said he wanted to continue talks, he also threatened late Friday to shower Iran with “1000 Missiles” if it acted on a threat to kill the US leader, “in this case, ME!” In a social media post, he cited calls to kill him that were made at the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, after Israel reportedly informed Trump of an Iranian assassination plot.
