Khamenei breaks silence on nuclear deal with downplay

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Thursday delivered his much-awaited first comment on the nuclear framework concluded in Lausanne last week with the world powers. He said that the deal is no guarantee that a full agreement will be reached by the end of June. "What has been done so far does not guarantee an agreement, nor its contents, nor even that the negotiations will continue to the end," Khamenei, who has the final word on all matters of state, said on his official website. Iran on no account will rescind its demand for the immediate removal of all sanctions, he emphasized.
Deputy Chairman of Iran's Armed Forces Chief of Staff Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri said Thursday that the “Swiss Statement” does not include allowing inspections of military centers. 'We have not so far permitted inspection of the military centers, and we will not to do so in the future,' Jazayeri stressed.
