0:00It's March 17, here's your global news in two minutes. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Moshtaba Kamenay has firmly rejected proposals to reduce tensions or agree to a ceasefire with the United States. These offers reached Tehran through two intermediary countries, according to a senior Iranian official. The leader made his position clear during his first foreign policy session. His approach toward the U.S. and Israel calls for strong revenge and officials describe it as very tough and serious. This news broke on Tuesday, March 17, from Dubai. It highlights ongoing friction in the region amid broader conflicts. The senior official did not specify if Kamenay attended the session in person. No further details emerged on the intermediaries involved. For now, this stands signals no quick path to de-escalation from Iran's top leadership. We'll keep watching for any shifts.
