“There is a reason we are against talks with US,” Ayatollah Khamenei said on Twitter. “IRAN’s negotiation with US means infiltration.” Khamenei accused the U.S. of wanting to “pave the way for imposition.”

“In #IranTalks they took any chance to infiltrate,” Khamenei continued. While the Iranian side was “vigilant” according to Khamenei, the U.S. “gained chances & acted against our national interests.”

Further negotiation, the supreme leader explained, has many disadvantages and no advantages.

He also included a nod to the U.S. airstrike that hit a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan last week. “They consider no value for human lives,” Khamenei accused. “They attack a hospital, murder tens of patients and simply say ‘sorry, it was a mistake!.'”
