"The team assigned by [Iranian] President [Hassan Rouhani] to [attend] the talks constitute good, reliable and sympathetic individuals who are trying to secure the country's interests," said the Leader in a meeting with the chairman and members of the Assembly of Experts on Thursday.
Nevertheless, the Leader expressed misgivings over potential duplicity by the P5+1 in the negotiations.
“Of course, I’m concerned because the other side is into deception, trickery and backstabbing,” Ayatollah Khamenei underlined.
The Leader also noted that the letter sent by US senators to Iranian officials revealed the collapse of political ethics in the US system.
Ayatollah Khamenei then underlined that the other parties to the talks, particularly the US, adopt a harsher tone whenever the deadline for reaching a comprehensive deal approaches.
“This is part of their ploys and tricks,” said the Leader.
Ayatollah Khamenei then lashed out at the White House for accusing Tehran of terrorism, dismissing the accusation as “ludicrous, absurd and disgusting.”
Elsewhere in his remarks, the Leader said the attempts by the Zionists’ propaganda machine and political apparatus are indicative of their fear of losing their illegitimate interests.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution highlighted the importance of avoiding any passive treatment of the issue of “Islamophobia”.
The Ayatollah placed accentuation on the term “Islamophobia” and underlined the concept was in fact a translation of the fear and anxiety world arrogant powers were sensing from the political notions of Islam and those interpretations of Islam which makes its presence in the everyday lives of nations.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that the Iranian nation was indeed an advocate of researching, compiling and promoting such a version.
