Local Editor
Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei confirmed that Iran does not approve of negotiations over its nuclear program "under the specter of threats."
Addressing Iranian teachers in Tehran on Wednesday, Imam Khamenei dismissed recent US military threats against Iran and said the Islamic Republic will not leave any acts of aggression unanswered.
"Holding nuclear talks (with major powers) under shadow of threat is unacceptable for Iran ... Our nation will not accept it ... Military threats will not help the talks," he asserted.
"Recently two US officials threatened to take military action against Iran. What does negotiation mean under the shadow of threat," he said.
His Eminence further added the US' need for nuclear talks is not less than Iran's, if not more.
The Leader urged the Iranian negotiating delegation to observe the country's red lines and not to cave in to the opposite side's imposition of ideas, humiliation or threats during the course of the talks.
Commenting on the Saudi-led aggression on Yemen, Imam Khamenei reiterated his condemnation to the Saudi military aggression against Yemen as unjustifiable.
In parallel, he denounced as disgraceful the US support for major crimes that Saudi Arabia is committing in Yemen, saying Washington provided Riyadh with military and intelligence backup in its military aggression against the impoverished Arab country.
The Leader also slammed Saudi Arabia's blockade of Iran's aid shipment to Yemen, saying the Islamic Republic only wanted to send medical supplies to Yemen, adding that the Yemenis do not need Iran's arms.
