Khamenei says Trump administration “not worthy” of cooperation with Iran

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Thursday that the Trump administration was "not worthy" of contact or cooperation with the Islamic republic.

"Such a government (the United States) is not worthy of being approached or cooperated with by a government like the Islamic Republic," Khamenei said in a televised speech, rejecting rumours that Iran had sent messages to Washington as a "pure lie".
