\u201cNobody is allowed to call the negotiators \u2018compromisers\u2019. They are born and bred here [under the Islamic Revolution]. They shoulder an arduous task and no one may undermine their mission,\u201d said the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei in an address on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n The Leader voiced his strong support for the ongoing initiative of the current administration to engage in the talks with the West<\/a>, including the US, to address Tehran\u2019s nuclear impasse, and censured certain political parties who frowned upon the government\u2019s diplomacy towards the West by installing derogatory banners and essays in the press.<\/span><\/p>\n Some of the banners showed the English-language slogan \u201cThe U.S. Government Styles Honesty,\u201d and depicted a goateed Iranian official (presumably meant to resemble Zarif) sitting across from a U.S. counterpart who, under the table, conceals symbols of perceived American aggression.<\/span><\/p>\n The Leader of the Islamic Revolution advised the current administration against relying on the talks for resolving domestic issues. “We believe that officials should lean on domestic potentials to solve the matters. Successful countries in foreign diplomacy are those who place reliance on their domestic power.”<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe shall not trust a smiling foe. The Americans give us a venal smile at the negotiating table expressing tendency for talks, but at the very same time repeat that they have all the options on the table; what on earth may they do then?\u201d the Leader went on to say.<\/span><\/p>\n Americans are most considerate when it comes to Zionists; but “we are free of such considerations. Since its\u00a0incipience, we have regarded this regime as an illegitimate and bastard establishment.”<\/span><\/p>\n He underlined that talks with the US would only concern the nuclear issue, and posited, \u201cTalks with the P5+1 group concern only the nuclear issue and nothing else.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
