Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, speaking at a memorial for late President Ebrahim Raisi, expressed doubt about nuclear talks with the U.S., stating, “The American side in these indirect talks should avoid making absurd demands.” ⁣
⁣
Khamenei questioned their potential for success, noting past failures under Raisi’s term. Tensions over Iran’s uranium enrichment threaten a planned fifth round of negotiations in Rome. ⁣
⁣
Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi said on Monday that talks would fail if Washington insists that Tehran refrains from domestic enrichment of uranium, which the U.S. says is a possible pathway to developing nuclear bombs. Iran maintains its nuclear program is peaceful.⁣
