Iranian leader says Tehran may shelve nuclear deal
Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says Iran will leave the nuclear deal if it finds it is not useful, the semi-official Mehr news agency reports.
“Leader underlined that JCPOA is not a goal but a tool, and if we come to the conclusion that it is not possible to maintain national interests by the deal, we will put it aside,” Mehr reports.
It quotes Khamenei, who has final say on all policy matters in Iran, as saying that Iran “should be careful about suspicious-looking promises,” from other signatories of the deal.
