Khamenei still neither supportive nor against nuclear deal, sanctions must be lifted immediately.

Iran's supreme leader Khamenei still neither supportive nor against nuclear deal. (Taz).

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says that he is neither against nor supportive of the nuclear framework deal, achieved on April 2.

"Some ask why I haven't announced my position about the deal, but as the officials have told me, no binding deal has been achieved, so there is no need for me to express my stance on it," Khamenei said.

Iran's supreme leader said that the essential matters are in the details of the comprehensive nuclear deal, which is expected to be achieved by June 30, IRNA reported Apr.9.

"Any congratulations for the framework deal is meaningless," Khamenei said.

Khamenei said that he hasn't been optimistic about the nuclear negotiations, but he has been supportive of them, and will continue to support Iran's nuclear negotiating team.

"I agree with a deal that will preserve Iran's national interests," he said. "But a disagreement is better if the agreement would mean damaging the country's national interests and honor."

He added that Iran will not sign any nuclear agreement with the P5+1 group, if all the sanctions are not lifted on the first day after the deal signed.

Khamenei said that what has been achieved so far doesn't guarantee neither the deal itself, nor the accomplished nuclear talks between between Iran and P5+1. Update:

No unconventional inspection that’d place Iran under special monitoring is acceptable. Foreign monitoring on #Iran’s security isn’t allowed.

All #sanctions should be removed just when the deal is reached. If sanctions removal depends on another process then why we started to talk?

Hours after the #talks, Americans offered a fact sheet that most of it was contrary to what was agreed.They always deceive &breach promises.

Islam& reason forbid us from acquiring nukes but #nuclear industry is a necessity for country’s future in energy, medicine, agriculture,etc.
