• Supreme Leader Khameini on talks with U.S.:
  • “How is it possible to hold talks with US arrogant, bullying, expansionist administration and its impolite, bold and demanding officials? The talks on Iraq were supposed to be held early last year but the Americans misbehaved. However, this time they have extended a request for direct talks… Iran’s policy on avoiding direct talks with the current US administration is still in force until they change their behavior.”
  • “Americans say that no other topic would be discussed during negotiations with Iran except for the issues of Iraq, but we tell them that even the issue of Iraq is not their business and the talks will merely include duties of occupiers with regard to Iraq’s security.”
