Iran will stand up to US demands to be obedient', says Khamenei
"They want Iran to be obedient to America. The Iranian nation will stand with all of its power against those who have such erroneous expectations, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said during a religious event on Sunday. People who ask us not to issue slogans against the US to have direct negotiations with the US only see appearances. This issue is unsolvable."
"Khamenei's comments come after Iran and European powers agreed on Friday to resume talks to try to restart full negotiations on curbing Tehran's nuclear enrichment work. France, Britain and Germany said they could reactivate United Nations sanctions on Iran under a snapback mechanism if Tehran does not return to the table. They are expected to hold talks on Tuesday. Tehran had suspended nuclear negotiations with the US after Washington and Israel bombed its nuclear sites during a 12-day war in June."
Iran portrays the United States as seeking Iranian obedience and rejects that expectation, pledging national resistance and unity. Iran accuses agents of America and the Zionist regime of trying to sow division and urges the population to remain united. Iran and European powers agreed to resume talks aimed at restarting negotiations to curb nuclear enrichment, while France, Britain and Germany warn of possible UN sanctions snapback if Iran does not return to negotiations. Iran suspended talks after US and Israeli attacks on its nuclear sites. Iran maintains its nuclear program is for civilian purposes and references the 2015 nuclear deal framework.
