| Iranian leaders blast US over nuclear agreement, demand lifting of sanctions |
| 2015-04-10 |
| [FOXNEWS] Iran's top leader blasted the United States on Thursday for its claims about the framework nuclear deal struck last week, as he and the country's president both demanded that any final deal immediately lift all sanctions. The comments by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani, taken together, could raise fresh doubts about the course of the nuclear talks. While it was expected that Iran's leaders would position the agreement as a win for their country, both leaders on Thursday made demands that the U.S. has resisted. "We will not sign any agreement, unless all economic sanctions are totally lifted on the first day of the implementation of the deal," Rouhani said during a ceremony marking Iran's nuclear technology day, which celebrates the country's nuclear achievements. The Ayatollah, too, said all sanctions should be removed when a deal is reached. His Twitter account, which sent out a cascade of tweets with highlights from his remarks Thursday, also said: "I trust our negotiators, but I'm really worried as the other side is into lying & breaching promises." |
