Local Editor

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, hailed the course of nuclear negotiations between Iran and the world powers on Wednesday, urging Iran's team to continue their efforts.

Imam Khamenei asserted that, "What Dr. Zarif and Iran's negotiators have achieved would be continued; their negotiating experience is a priceless achievement for all to know that negotiations with the US will not lessen their animosity toward Iran."

He used a metaphor to compare diplomatic field to war fronts and believed that the current era was a time of transition toward a new world order.

"In this era, strong and pragmatic diplomacy was of great importance which made the foreign ministry's duty even more difficult," Imam Khamenei underlined.

He pointed to the other nations' hatred for the US blind support for the Zionist entity in seized Gaza and reiterated that no one in the world would exculpate the US from complicity in the genocide by the usurping Zionist regime in seized Gaza.

"The US is now in a weaker stand," he added.

"Palestinians' polemic about truce is correct. They say predatory regime of "Israel" cannot do any crimes it wills and return to pre-war days unscathed," he said.

"There should be a reparation for Zionists' crimes in Gaza and in the Palestinians' view, the reparation would be an end to Gaza siege," said Imam Khamenei.

He closed his remarks with: "No just person would ever deny such rightful demand."

Furthermore, Imam Khamenei also hailed the appointment of Iraq's new prime minister, saying that the enemies' plot to push Iraq into further chaos through political disputes over premiership will be foiled once the new cabinet starts work.

"God-willing, the deadlock will end with the appointment of Iraq's new prime minister and the government will be formed to start its work and give a good lesson to those who did and do intend to stir chaos and sedition in Iraq," Imam Khamenei said while addressing a meeting in the city of Tehran on Wednesday with Iran's diplomatic corps abroad who have convened in the Iranian capital since Sunday to discuss the agenda for their mission in the next year.
