Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected Thursday a US
offer to negotiate one-on-one on Tehran's disputed nuclear programme
so long as Washington continues to impose sanctions on Iran, The AFP
reports.
"You (Americans) want to negotiate when you are pointing the gun at
Iran. The Iranian nation will not be intimidated by such actions,"
Khamenei told air force commanders, according to excerpts of his
speech posted on his website.
"Some rejoice at the offer of negotiations ... (but) negotiations will
not solve anything," he said.
The all-powerful Khamenei has final say on all key issues in the
Islamic republic, including Iran's sensitive nuclear activities and
foreign policy.
His remarks came in response to an offer put forward by US Vice
President Joe Biden to engage Iran directly to resolve the nuclear
case.
