Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that the US nuclear deal proposal was “against Tehran’s national interests” and that Iran will not abandon uranium enrichment, Reuters reported. Khamenei said in a speech on Wednesday that uranium enrichment is key to the country’s nuclear program. “Independence means not waiting for the green light from America and the likes of America,” Khamenei says, adding that the proposal is “100 percent against the idea of ‘we can’”—an Iranian government slogan. “If we had 100 nuclear power plants while not having enrichment, they are not usable for us,” Khamenei said.
