DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday the country’s economy should not be tied to U.S. sanctions.
Iran and major powers have engaged in talks for the past 11 months in Vienna to revive a 2015 nuclear deal, which curbed Iran’s nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief.
The talks were close to an agreement until Russia made demands of the United States to guarantee that sanctions imposed after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine would not hurt Moscow’s trade with Tehran.
