Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said talks with the US would be “unwise and dishonorable” after President Donald Trump said he wanted a new nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic.

“Negotiating with the US has no impact on resolving the country’s problems,” Khamenei said in a speech shown on Iranian state TV on Friday.

Khamenei did not explicitly rule out talks with the US but said that Trump chose to tear up the nuclear deal and Washington violated the agreement by not fully implementing sanctions relief.

Looks like they're taking Hasan's advice

It's actually remarkable how many leaders don't do this on principle, because being a nuclear power is just a great deal.

This advice may be evergreen

very much so; the nuke club doesn't want new members and ESPECIALLY ones not aligned with them.
