Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei expressed strong opposition to nuclear talks with the U.S. during a recent address to air force officers in Teheran. Khamenei stated that negotiations with the U.S. were not intelligent, wise, or honorable, emphasizing that there should be no engagement with such a government.
This stance appears to contradict Khamenei's previous indications of openness to negotiating with the U.S. regarding Iran's nuclear program. In August, he had suggested that engaging with the U.S. was not harmful, signaling a potential willingness to enter talks.
