Iran leader tells negotiators to avoid ‘humiliation’

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei instructs his country’s negotiators to steer clear of “humiliation” in nuclear talks with world powers that resume next week in Vienna.

“The negotiators must respect the red lines and tolerate neither pressure nor humiliation, or threats,” he says in a speech to teachers carried on his website.

“It is unacceptable for the other side to make threats while negotiations are taking place. What use is negotiation in the shadow of threats?” Khamenei asks.
