Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on Tuesday that he does not expect the current indirect talks with the United States to succeed, APA reports citing iranintl.com.
Previous indirect negotiations under raisi were unsuccessful
“In Raisi’s term, there were indirect negotiations, but they yielded no results,” Khamenei said during a memorial ceremony for the late president and others killed in a helicopter crash last May. “We do not expect them to lead to any results now either, and we do not know what will happen.”
Praise for Raisi’s stance against direct talks with Washington
Khamenei also praised Raisi for firmly rejecting direct engagement with Washington, recalling that in his first interview as president, Raisi said clearly and without hesitation that Iran would not enter direct talks with the United States.
Khamenei highlights resistance to US pressure
“He did not allow the enemy to claim that through threats, inducements, or deception, they were able to bring Iran to the negotiating table,” Khamenei said.
