Khamenei: We’ll block Iran to US influence and firms

Iran's nuclear deal with world powers will not open the Islamic Republic to political or economic influence from the United States, and could still be blocked by either country, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday."We blocked this path and will definitely block it in the future. We won't allow American political, economic or cultural influence in Iran." DEBKA Weekly 627 first disclosed Khamenei’s imposition of an anti-US boycott after the signing of a nuclear deal with the world powers. The article was published on July 30 under the heading: “Khamenei Shuts US Firms out of Iran’s Post-Sanctions Economy.”
