Iran Resumes Nuclear Activity and Curses Israel

Yesterday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Iran was nowhere close to cooperating with the United States, simply because Donald Trump and the White House continue to support Israel. As long as the U.S. maintains military bases in the Middle East, Iran will not listen to the Trump administration’s attempts at diplomacy and a new nuclear deal.

Meanwhile, satellite images show that Iran has resumed nuclear activity. Officials insist it is only for nuclear power and national welfare.

The Times of Israel reports about Khamenei’s statement:

“The Americans sometimes say they would like to cooperate with Iran. Cooperation with Iran is not possible as long as the US continues to support the accursed Zionist regime, maintains military bases, and interferes in the region,” Khamenei says, according to state media.

This comes after Trump’s comments last month that the U.S. was preparing to make a deal with Iran. “The hand of friendship and cooperation is open,” Trump said about Iran.

Khamenei doesn’t want to be friends.
