'Warships Can Sink': Khamenei Fires 3 Warnings At Trump Amid US-Iran Talks

As US-Iran negotiations loom, tensions escalate following stark warnings from Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei directed at President Donald Trump. Despite Trump's optimistic remarks suggesting that Iran is keen on reaching a diplomatic agreement, Khamenei's rhetoric indicates a more aggressive stance. He emphasized the vulnerabilities of US naval forces, stating that 'warships can sink,' thereby underscoring Iran's military readiness and resolve. This statement comes amid ongoing discussions aimed at addressing the complexities of nuclear agreements and regional security concerns. The contrasting messages from US and Iranian leadership highlight the fragile nature of these talks and the potential for renewed hostilities if mutual trust cannot be established. Khamenei's firm stance signals Iran's unwillingness to back down under pressure, setting the stage for a difficult negotiation process ahead. As both sides prepare for dialogue, the international community watches closely, hoping for a peaceful resolution to longstanding tensions.
