Supreme Leader of Iran: Talks with US banned because of disadvantages

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says negotiations with the US are banned due to their numerous disadvantages.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday banned any further negotiations between Iran and the United States, putting the brakes on moderates hoping to end Iran’s isolation after reaching a nuclear deal with world powers in July.

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the highest authority in the Islamic Republic, already said last month there would be no more talks with the United States after the nuclear deal, but has not previously declared an outright ban.

“Negotiations with the United States open gates to their economic, cultural, political and security influence. Even during the nuclear negotiations they tried to harm our national interests.,”

Khamenei was quoted as saying on his website.

Our negotiators were vigilant but the Americans took advantage of a few chances,” he said.

In his address to Revolutionary Guards Navy commanders, Khamenei said talks with the United States brought only disadvantages to Iran.

Through negotiations Americans seek to influence Iran … but there are naive people in Iran who don’t understand this,” Khamenei was quoted as saying to the IRGC commanders, who are also running much of Iran’s military involvement in Syria.

We are in a critical situation now as the enemies are trying to change the mentality of our officials and our people on the revolution and our national interests,” Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei told the Guards.

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said focus on measures to promote notions as jihad, martyrdom and enduring hardship for the sake of God are among the most effective ways to foil enemies’ plots.
