Iran supreme leader says “resolution of issues with US not imaginable”

No problem with the United States can be resolved and negotiations are a loss, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday in a statement published on his official website.

“With regard to America, no problem can be resolved and negotiations with it have nothing but economic and spiritual loss,” he wrote.

Khamenei also said in the statement that the Iranian people now see a number of European governments as untrustworthy.

Iran’s supreme leader says negotiations with the U.S. “will bring nothing but material and spiritual harm”.

Khamenei’s remarks come ahead of an American-led meeting on the Mideast in Warsaw.

The comments from Khamenei are part of a seven-page statement that was read out word-for-word on Iranian state television on Wednesday.

Currently, tensions between Iran and the U.S. are high after President Donald Trump pulled America out of the nuclear deal last year.

The Warsaw summit, which starts Wednesday, was initially pegged to focus entirely on Iran. However, the U.S. subsequently made it about the broader Middle East, to boost participation.
