Summary
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, doubts that ongoing nuclear talks with the US will yield results, criticizing what he calls the US’s “excessive” demands on uranium enrichment. Despite US President Trump claiming Iran had tentatively agreed to terms, Iran’s chief negotiator rejected the notion of halting enriched uranium production, asserting it is non-negotiable. Khamenei also praised former President Raisi for rejecting direct talks with the US, while emphasizing that Iran’s nuclear activities are peaceful, amidst concerns over its stockpile of enriched uranium.
