Khamenei says Iranians won't budge over U.S. sanctions
Iran's supreme leader says Iranians will not budge or change their stand following new U.S. sanctions targeting Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his associates, the latest in a torrent of sharp verbal responses from Tehran in the wake of the measures.
Khamenei's quotes him as calling the Trump administration "the most sinister" U.S. government, adding that Washington's calls for negotiation with Iran are deceitful and amount to "obvious cruelty."
"The most hated figures of such an administration accuse and insult the Iranian nation," Khamenei says. "The Iranian nation will not budge and will not withdraw because of the insults."
