Khamenei unbowed as Iran sees no direct talks with US

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has warned that the United States will be driven out of the Middle East after enduring "painful blows." Speaking at the UN General Assembly in New York, Khamenei claimed that the US presence would soon disappear from the Arabian Sea following the country's recent military actions. Despite these statements, Tehran's delegation is not planning further talks with Washington.

US President Donald Trump has indicated a willingness to offer sanctions relief and release frozen Iranian funds in exchange for concrete steps from Iran regarding its nuclear program. Nonetheless, Iran remains committed to reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting sanctions related to its oil sector. Additionally, Iraq's Iraqi Airways has resumed flights between Najaf and Iranian airports, adding to the ongoing developments in the region.
