Iranian leader warns against negotiations with US & European states

The Supreme leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned the Islamic Republic against any meaningless dealings with the US and some “untrustworthy” European states.

Speaking on Wednesday in Tehran, Khamenei said nothing but economic and spiritual loss will be the possible outcome of any such deal with the US.

“With regard to America, no problem can be resolved and negotiations with it have nothing but economic and spiritual loss,” Khamenei wrote on his official website.

“Today, the Iranian people see some European countries as cunning and untrustworthy along with the criminal America. The government of the Islamic Republic must carefully preserve its boundaries with them.”

“Iran must not retreat a single step from national and revolutionary values.”

Khamenei comments are coming dasy after scores of Iranians thronged the streets of Tehran and other parts of the country marking the 40th anniversary of the triumph of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the Shi’ite cleric who toppled the Shah in an Islamic Revolution.

Reports say Iranian nationals were seen carrying their country’s flag while chanting “Death to Israel, Death to America,” trademark chants of the revolution which ousted the United States’ most important ally in the Middle East.

Others were busy burning U.S. flags while a protester was seen carrying a banner with the inscription which reads thus; “Much to the dismay of America, the revolution has reached its 40th year.”
