Iran's Khamenei says nuclear talks with US won't lift sanctions
Briefly

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei condemned the US for abandoning the nuclear deal and imposing sanctions, calling President Trump's offer for talks an attempt to deceive the global public. In a recent meeting, Khamenei expressed skepticism about negotiating with a US administration that previously tore up the signed 2015 nuclear accord and reinstated strict sanctions. He conveyed that any negotiation under such oppressive circumstances seems futile, emphasizing Iran's position against nuclear weapons and asserting their commitment to peaceful applications of nuclear energy.
We negotiated for years, reached a complete and signed agreement, and then this individual tore it up. How can one negotiate under such circumstances?
Khamenei said negotiating with the Trump administration, which he said has excessive demands, will tighten the knot of sanctions and increase pressure on Iran.
Trump's offer is a deception aimed at shaping global opinion. We know they won't, what is the point of negotiating?
If we wanted to build nuclear weapons, the US would not be able to stop it. We ourselves do not want it.
