Khamenei warns US against imposing its will
IRAN'S supreme leader yesterday warned against the United States imposing its will on negotiations with Tehran.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's statements come as Iran is asking to modify a United Nations proposal for Russia and France to turn its uranium stockpile into nuclear fuel and allay Western fears over a possible weapons program.
"Whenever the US offers a smile, it hides a dagger in his back," said Khamenei according to the state news agency. He rejected "talks in which the US decides about its results in advance."
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Monday that the UN nuclear deal could not be altered. The US and its allies fear that Iran's nuclear program is geared toward producing a weapon, while Tehran says it is for peaceful purposes.
Khamenei said that even as the US talks about negotiations with Iran it is threatening it. "American talk about negotiations on one hand but on the other they continue their threats and say how negotiations must reach their own desired conclusion," he said.
Khamenei slammed what he called "the new US president's beautiful words," which are not supported by deeds, referring to several messages from President Barack Obama to the Iranian people.
