After a fewer days of public criticism and American declarations of "red line" "The ultimate Leader of Iran yet decided what the situation looked like from Tehran's perspective.
Ajatollah Ali Chamenei called the last U.S. request that uranium enrichment in Iran be reduced to zero"excessive and outrageous",as reported State media. He besides expressed doubts as to whether the current atomic talks with the Trump administration would actually lead anywhere.
"I don't think atomic talks with the U.S. are going to work.. I don't know what will happen," Chamenei said. He besides called on Washington to halt making excessive demands in atomic talks. Tehran officials late called Trump's administration's position "contrary"—after president Trump attempted to overturn, surrounded by direct threats, in his rhetoric surrounding Iran during his stay in the Persian Gulf last week.
"The American side in these indirect talks should avoid pointless remarks" – continued The highest spiritual clergyman and the highest authority in the country. "To say they won't let Iran enrich uranium is simply a large mistake. No 1 is waiting for their permission.".
Ajatollah made these remarks during a speech at a memorial to late president Ebrahim Raisi, who died a year ago erstwhile his chopper crashed into northern mountains:
He commended Raisi, another hardheaded clergyman, for refusing direct talks with the United States during his office.
"He clearly said 'no' without ambiguity," said Chamanei, adding that Raisi did not let enemies "to drag Iran into the negotiating table utilizing threats or tricks".
Chamenei said that atomic talks under Raisi's predecessor, average clergyman Hassan Rouhani, failed And he doesn't think there's any breakthrough under his successor, Masud Pezeshkian, who is simply a reformist.
President Trump said last week that the Iranians "in a sense" agreed to the terms of the deal after 4 rounds of talks in which Oman was mediated, lasting until mid-April.
Also last week, a high-ranking Iranian atomic authoritative said that it is possible that Iran may quit enrichment of uranium in exchange for leniency of sanctions. However, this was definitely premature, and Ayatollah is now trying to explain the position of the muslim Republic.
Trump's jealous, Steve Witkoff, on Sunday news shows made it clearthat the question of giving up enrichment is "red line" from the U.S. administration. In an ABC interview, he described that the "red line" for Iran is the deficiency of uranium enrichment, even 1 percent. Yet, over the last fewer decades, Iran has seen it as a dupe.
"Everything begins... with a deal that does not include enrichment... due to the fact that enrichment allows reinforcement, and we will not let the bomb get here," he added.
