Iran's Khamenei blames 'cowardly' U.S. for pause in nuclear talks
Reuters News 29.07.2021
Iran's supreme leader on Wednesday declared Tehran would not accept Washington's "stubborn" demands in talks to revive a 2015 nuclear deal and said the United States had failed to guarantee that it would never abandon the pact again.
"The Americans acted completely cowardly and maliciously," state TV quoted Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as saying.
"They once violated the nuclear deal at no cost by exiting it. Now they explicitly say that they cannot give guarantees that it would not happen again."
A U.S. State Department spokesperson said in a statement that President Joe Biden's administration "has been sincere and steadfast in pursuing a path of meaningful diplomacy to achieve a mutual return to compliance" with the agreement.
