Khamenei: Despite nuclear talks, ‘we will continue campaign against arrogant US’
Following a declaration by the chief of Iran’s nuclear program that talks with world powers have resulted in “good news,” the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic said on Sunday that his country would continue its campaign against the ‘arrogant’ US.
According to Iran’s state-run FARS news agency, at a Q&A with university students in Tehran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that “the US is the complete instance of arrogance” and reminded those listening to “get yourselves ready for a continuing campaign against the arrogance.”
“Campaign against the arrogant powers and hegemonic system is one of the tenets and essence of the revolution,” said the Supreme Leader and warned that “we would not be subordinate to the Koran if we stop tne campaign against the arrogance.”
Khameini’s remarks surfaced soon after Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif met, yet again, with the US Secretary of State John Kerry in Austria’s Palais Coburg, where the final details of a potential nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1 nations are being ironed out.
