Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei said US President Donald Trump, out of desperation, used all kinds of leverage to get the US-Iran deal signed. Khamenei said he held a different view, but President Masoud Pezeshkian assured him that Iran’s rights would be protected. "Pezeshkian said if American side makes excessive demands, they will not submit to them," Khamenei said.
