The media reported on the unwillingness of Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei to end the war with the United States

The United States sent a proposal for a possible truce, but the new supreme leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, rejected it. This was reported on March 17 by the Reuters news agency, citing a senior Iranian official.

"It is not a good time for peace until the United States and Israel <...> accept defeat and pay compensation," Khamenei said.

According to the expert, the appeal for "reducing tension or a cease-fire with the United States" was sent through two intermediaries. The newspaper reports that at the first foreign policy meeting, Khamenei took a very "tough and serious" position of revenge against the United States and Israel.
