US EditionIran’s supreme leader rejects direct talks with US over his country’s nuclear program
- On September 24, 2025, in a televised address from Tehran, Iran’s highest authority, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, dismissed the possibility of engaging in face-to-face talks with the United States regarding the nation’s nuclear program.
- This rejection followed ongoing Western efforts, led by France, Germany, and the U.K. , to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran due to its noncompliance with the 2015 nuclear deal conditions.
- Khamenei described talks with the U.S. as a “sheer dead end” and stated that accepting negotiations signifies submission and surrender in the face of threats, while Iran maintains its nuclear program is peaceful.
- If no diplomatic deal is reached by the end of the week, sanctions will automatically snapback on September 28, freezing Iranian assets abroad, halting arms deals with Tehran, and penalizing ballistic missile development.
- Khamenei’s stance likely limits outreach efforts and signals continued diplomatic deadlock, increasing the risk of sanctions snapback with further economic and political consequences for Iran.
