Iran’s supreme leader criticizes U.S. proposal in nuclear talks but doesn’t reject idea of a deal

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday described the U.S. proposal as “100% against the idea of ‘we can,'” borrowing from an Iranian government slogan. He also insisted that Tehran needed to keep its ability to enrich uranium. Reaching a deal is one of the several diplomatic priorities being juggled by U.S. President Donald Trump and his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.
