Ayatollah Khamenei Says No Iran-U.S. Talks: ‘Unintelligent and Dishonorable’
Breitbart ^ | 7 Feb 2025 | FRANCES MARTEL

Posted on 02/09/2025 8:31:56 AM PST by Mr. Mojo

Iranian ‘supreme leader’ Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ruled out any negotiations with the United States on any important issues for the foreseeable future during remarks on Friday, warning his underlings in Tehran that attempting diplomacy with Washington was “dishonorable.”

“Some people pretend that if we sit at the negotiating table, some problem will be solved, but the fact that we must understand correctly is that negotiating with the US has no effect on solving the country’s problems,” Khamenei declared, speaking at an event with the Iranian Air Force to mark the anniversary of the jihadist revolution in 1979.

The “supreme leader” made his remarks after President Donald Trump announced this week that his administration would reinstate the “maximum pressure” policy against the rogue regime that Trump had initially implemented during his first term in office. The goals of the policy are to prevent Iran, the world’s premier state sponsor of terrorism, from accessing large amounts of funds to distribute to its terror proxies, limit its malign influence in the Middle East and Latin America, and prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear warhead.

Prior to Trump’s first administration, former President Barack Obama championed a policy of issuing concessions to Tehran in the hope that the Iranian government would use new money and resources to help its citizens rather than finance terrorism.

Not too swift- They would have LESS problems IF they negotiated with Pres Trump and decided to play nice o nthe international scene- Iran is their own worst enemy- their Tyranny and hatred are causing their nation loads of problems, but their pride won’t let them admit it

“‘Unintelligent and Dishonorable’”

At last an accurate description of himself.

I hope the Ayatollah is on the IDF’s list of targets. It looks like he won’t admit that the God of Israel is stronger and smarter than the god of Iran.
