Tehran, Oct 7, IRNA – Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah
Seyyed Ali Khamenei said negotiation with the US is forbidden.

In a meeting with a group of commanders and staff of the Islamic Revolution
Guards Corps’ Navy here on Wednesday, the Leader said negotiation with
America is banned because of the many disadvantages it has and the
advantages it absolutely lacks.

He said when Imam Ali (AS) and Imam Hussein (AS) talked to the enemies, they
used a harsh tone and blamed them.

(They did so) because at that time negotiation had a different meaning while
presently it means you give something to get another thing, the Ayatollah
added.

“Did Amir-ul-momenin (AS) and Imam Hussein (AS) intend to strike a deal
(with them)? Do you interpret history in this manner? There is a reason for
our objection to negotiations with the US; the US engagement in talks with
Iran means infiltration. They want to pave the way to impose themselves,”
Ayatollah Khamenei added.

He went on to stress that “during the nuclear negotiations, they made
attempts to infiltrate at any spot they were able to; thanks God, the
Iranian side was vigilant enough but still at certain points they somehow
managed to get chances and did a move contrary to our national interests.”

The Supreme Leader said talks with the US is forbidden for the considerable
harm it does and the good it never does. “This is different from engaging in
talks with a government which lacks the same equipment or motivation ( as
US).”

Ayatollah Khamenei said the current problem affecting the country was coming
from lax and perhaps permissive individuals who fail to understand the
point.

Certainly, the Supreme Leader said, such persons are in minority compared to
the massive wave of revolutionary people but they are active, they keep
writing, repeating the same thing and persisting with the help of enemies.

Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that at the present juncture, enemies were
trying to transform the revolutionary attitudes of officials and religious
beliefs of people.

Urging the youth to stay quite vigilant, he noted that he has nothing to
worry about in this regard thanks to the awareness of universities and army
forces.
