Iran's top leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Sunday rejected the U.S. help offered to the Islamic republic over COVID-19 outbreak.
Khamenei said the U.S. officials have continuously sent messages to Iran about their offer, but Iran did not accept it since Iran "does not trust" them.
The Americans have faced shortages inside their country to deal with the novel coronavirus outbreak, the Iranian leader noted.
Iran is one of the hardest-hit countries by the coronavirus epidemic, with the total number of confirmed cases surpassing 20,000.
