Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei voices doubts over whether nuclear talks with the United States will lead to an agreement, Mehr news reports, as Tehran reviews a proposal to hold a fifth round of negotiations.

“I don’t think nuclear talks with the US will bring results. I don’t know,” Khamenei says during a speech in remembrance of Iran’s late president Ebrahim Raisi.
