Iran’s Supreme Leader rejects talk with U.S. – TheNigerialawyer

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei on Tuesday, said that
Iranian officials had unanimously ruled out talks with the U.S.A at
any level.

Khamenei was quoted by his official website as saying
that“Through negotiations, the Americans are seeking to impose
their demands on Iran and prove the effectiveness of maximum
pressure campaign.’’

He said Washington’s maximum pressure campaign against the
Iranian nation had failed to achieve its goals.

According to him, talks with the U.S. will only be possible
within the framework of P5+1 group consisting of the five permanent
members of the UN Security Council plus Germany.

Khamenei said Washington should return to the 2015 Iranian
nuclear deal that it abandoned in 2018, if the U.S. wants any
talk.

“Otherwise, no talks at any level will be held between Iranian
and American officials, neither in New York nor in other
places.’’

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman on Monday also ruled out the
likelihood of any meeting between the Iranian and U.S. presidents
in the upcoming UN General Assembly meeting in New York.

U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 Iran
nuclear deal in May 2018 under the pretext that the deal was not
comprehensive.

Subsequently, the U.S. administration launched a “maximum
pressure campaign’’ and reinstated sanctions on Iran’s economy,
mainly on Iran’s oil exports.
