1st LD: Iran's top leader says U.S. should not be trusted

Xinhua, June 3, 2016 Adjust font size:

Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said here Friday that United States is the "enemy" of Islamic revolution of Iran and should not be trusted.

Despite Iran's fulfillment of its obligations pertaining to the nuclear deal, the United States has failed to be bound to its nuclear commitments, Khamenei said.

"If any political trend trusts the United States, it will commit a grave mistake," he said.

Khamenei made the remarks in a ceremony held to commemorate the 27th death anniversary of the founder of the Islamic republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

The ceremony was held at Khomeini's mausoleum in southern Tehran with the attendance of Iranian high-ranking officials and foreign diplomats and guests. Endit
