Senior cleric says no one in Iran seeking deal with US
A senior Iranian cleric said no one in the country is pursuing an agreement with the United States, reflecting hardline opposition to negotiations.
“No one is even talking about an agreement with America,” Ahmad Alamolhoda, a senior cleric in Mashhad, said, adding that talks had proven “useless and fruitless.”
He said any decision rests with the leadership and dismissed the idea of concessions, saying no official would agree to give up enriched uranium, dismantle nuclear technology or limit missile capabilities.
