Mojtaba Khamenei, a senior figure in Iran, criticizes U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to reach an Iran-related deal, saying Trump uses “all kinds of leverage” and describing his approach as “desperate.” In remarks referenced by NDTV, Khamenei frames Iran’s posture as principled and cooperative, asserting that Iranian officials act with goodwill and a commitment to protect Iran’s national rights. The reports present Khamenei’s comments in the context of addressing Iran on a memorandum of understanding (MoU) related to the U.S.-Iran deal process. NDTV’s accounts do not provide additional details on what specific leverage Trump used or the precise contents of the MoU. Instead, they focus on the rhetorical contrast between Khamenei’s depiction of U.S. efforts and Iran’s stated intent to safeguard its interests. Across the repeated items, the key message remains consistent: Khamenei characterizes Trump’s approach negatively while portraying Iran’s engagement as constructive and rights-focused.
