Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speaks during a meeting with a group of Basij paramilitary force in Tehran, Iran, Saturday, November 26, 2022
IRANIAN Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on Saturday that the country’s problems with the United States would not be solved through negotiation.
According to the Islamic Republic News Agency, Ayatollah Khamenei warned that only through “holding Iran to ransom permanently” can the United States allow the problems to be solved, since Washington cannot be satisfied and demands a new ransom each time.
The US agreed to lift the sanctions as part of a 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran, in return for Iran reducing its nuclear activities, said the supreme leader.
