Top Iranian official: Trump and Iran's supreme leader will not meet

In an exclusive interview in Tehran, CNN’s Fred Pleitgen sat down with Mohsen Rezaei, the senior military advisor to Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei. The supreme leader, who has not been seen in public since his appointment, is known to have a small circle of trusted aides around him. General Rezaei is in that circle. The advisor shot down the possibility of a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. He also said that a potential US-Iran deal hinges on the Trump administration agreeing to release $24 billion dollars in frozen Iranian assets. CNN operates in Iran only with the permission of the government but maintains full editorial control of its reports.
