Iran Leader Says Policy on 'Arrogant' U.S. Won't Change
2015-07-19
[AnNahar] Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Saturday that a landmark nuclear deal with world powers would not affect the country's avowed stance against an "arrogant" United States government.

The remarks were greeted by chants of "Death to America" from the crowd at a ceremony in Tehran to mark the end of the Moslem fasting month of Ramadan.

While such hardline rhetoric is familiar -- the US and Iran severed diplomatic ties the year after the Islamic revolution of 1979 -- the supreme leader's words highlighted the sharp differences between Iran and the West over the multiple conflicts gripping the Middle East despite Tuesday's historic nuclear deal.
