Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei said on Saturday that his country will not accept the demands of "bullying countries".
Why it matters: Khamenei's comment seemed to refer to President Trump's claim he sent a letter to the Iranian leader about a possible nuclear deal. Khamenei didn't mention Trump by name and didn't confirm he received a letter from the U.S. president.
