The New York-based Iranian United Nations Mission issued a statement on the social media platform X to clarify that no Iranian representative had made any such wish or request to the US. The mission called Trump a "liar and a coward" and termed his statement shameful.Iran also retaliated to Trump's threatTrump's alleged threat to target Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has made the situation more tense. Iran warned that if there was any attack or threat on its leader or institutions, it would be responded to with the same level of force. Tehran also reminded that in the past Khamenei had clearly said that Iran would never bow down to America, and if there was an attack, it would give a befitting reply.'There will be no dialogue under pressure'Iran made it clear in its official statement that it does not negotiate on the basis of any pressure, threat or false claim. Nor does it accept any proposal that promotes war or questions Iranian sovereignty.

There is already a dispute between the two countries on many issues regarding nuclear program, sanctions and regional influence. Now this statement of Trump has given a new direction to this tension.
