Iran says no deal better than bad deal
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s supreme leader says he would rather see talks with world powers over Tehran’s nuclear program fail than reach a “bad deal,” as both sides speak out against extending the negotiations.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s comments come US Secretary of State John Kerry met Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif in Germany to ratchet up efforts for a lasting nuclear accord.
“I agree with a deal that can take place but I do not agree with a bad deal,” the Iranian leader says, according to the Khamenei.ir website.
“The Americans keep reiterating that it’s better to have no deal than a bad one. I fully agree with that,” he says.
“It’s better to have no agreement than one that goes against our national interests.”
