US nuclear proposal against national interest: Khamenei

Tehran (AFP): Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Wednesday a US proposal for a nuclear agreement went against the country’s national interest, and that Tehran would not seek Washington’s approval for its decisions.

“Independence means not waiting for the green light from America and the likes of America,” Khamenei said, adding that the proposal was “100 percent against” the ideals of the 1979 Islamic revolution.
