TEHRAN, May 20 (Xinhua) — Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Tuesday warned the United States against making “meaningless” remarks about Tehran’s uranium enrichment during the ongoing proxy talks between the two countries on Iran’s nuclear program.
A. Khamenei made the corresponding statement in Tehran during a ceremony dedicated to the anniversary of the death of former Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash on May 19, 2024. A video recording of the ayatollah’s speech was published on his website.
Iran’s Supreme Leader said: “I must warn the other side. The American side, which has entered into indirect talks and continues to do so, must refrain from making empty statements.”
At the same time, A. Khamenei indicated that he does not expect any results from the ongoing negotiations with Washington.
With Oman’s assistance, Iranian and American delegations have held four rounds of indirect talks since April on Tehran’s nuclear program and the lifting of American sanctions on Iran.
The fifth round is expected to take place in the coming days, with the date and venue to be announced later.
Meanwhile, US officials have said several times in recent days that Iran must completely stop enriching uranium, a demand Tehran has rejected as “non-negotiable.” –0–
