Iran's Supreme Leader Should Be Very Worried, Says Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump delivered a forceful warning to Iran's top leadership this week, saying Iran's supreme leader "should be very worried" as the two countries prepare for resumed nuclear negotiations, according to excerpts from a Wednesday interview with Media. 

In the interview, Trump was asked directly about Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the mounting pressure on Tehran from Washington and regional



actors.

"I would say he should be very worried, yeah. He should be," Trump said, underscoring the administration's increasingly tough rhetoric toward Iran even as diplomatic contacts continue.

Meanwhile, Iran has conditionally agreed to hold talks with the US to avert the threat of further military strikes, Media reported. The push for renewed diplomacy comes after weeks of escalatory rhetoric between Washington and Tehran.
