Unresolvable Issues between Iran and the U.S. Persist under Trump's Leadership

In a state television appearance, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, has ruled out a political settlement with the US under President Donald Trump. Khamenei's comments suggest that he views Trump's actions towards Iran as an attempt to force political change.

Khamenei's stance towards the US has been consistent, indicating a continued hostile position. He has accused Trump of inciting Israel and supporting its attacks on Iran to force a political change. The latest Israeli military strike is a feared consequence if the nuclear talks do not resume, according to observers.

Despite significant damage to nuclear and military facilities, the Iranian government claims to have won the June war. The Iranian people, according to Khamenei, will resist any "disgusting demand" with all their determination. Khamenei's comments indicate a strong resolve to withstand any external pressure, and he has defended Iran's dignity.

The Iranian government is currently grappling with energy and water shortages, which could potentially lead to internal unrest. If the nuclear talks are not resumed, Iran faces potential economic sanctions that could worsen its already dire economic situation.

The status of Khamenei on the nuclear talks with the US is currently unclear. While hardliners in Iran's parliament are strictly against resuming nuclear talks with the US, reformers, including President Massoud Peschkian, do not rule out continuing the negotiations.

Khamenei's public appearances have been rare since the Israeli attacks on strategic targets in Iran, leading to speculations that he hid in a bunker due to fear of an Israeli assassination attempt. However, he has commented that both sides were surprised by Iran's dignified defense.

Observers note that Khamenei is not fundamentally against negotiations, but not under Trump's conditions. The problems with Trump, according to Khamenei, are insurmountable, and the issue is now about obedience and surrender. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei considers any agreement or resumption of nuclear talks with the US under Donald Trump's leadership impossible and the conflict with the US "unsolvable."

In conclusion, Khamenei's comments reaffirm Iran's hardline stance towards the US under President Trump. The nuclear talks remain uncertain, with internal divisions within Iran's government and the unyielding position of the US administration. The potential consequences, both internally and externally, could have significant implications for the region and beyond.
