Iranian leader Ali Khamenei has turned down direct talks with the United States over his country’s nuclear program and said the current situation was “unsolvable.”
Tehran suspended negotiations with Washington after U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit stealth bombers dropped 30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs on Fordow, a nuclear site deep underground, on the night of June 21–22.
