# Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is satisfied with talks with the US, but warns they could ultimately prove fruitless. Tehran and Washington are due to meet again in Muscat on Saturday, a week after top officials held the highest-level talks since the 2015 nuclear accord collapsed. President Donald Trump, who pulled out of the deal during his first term, revived his “maximum pressure” sanctions campaign after returning to office. In March, he sent a letter to Khamenei urging talks and warning of possible military action if Iran refused.
