Iran’s Khamenei rejects idea of nuclear talks with US
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says that nuclear talks with the United States “will not remove the sanctions” after Tehran confirmed receiving a letter from US President Donald Trump.
“If the goal of the negotiation is to lift sanctions, negotiating with this American government will not lift sanctions, meaning it will not remove sanctions and will make the sanctions knot tighter,” Khamenei says during a meeting with students.
“When we know they won’t honor it, what’s the point of negotiating? Therefore, the invitation to negotiate … is a deception of public opinion,” Khamenei is quoted as saying by state media.
