The Straits Times
|August 26, 2025
Iran's supreme leader said the current situation with the US was "unsolvable," and that Tehran would never bow to pressure to obey Washington, amid a stand-off with Western powers over its nuclear programme, state media reported on Aug 24.

The Islamic Republic suspended nuclear negotiations with the Americans after the US and Israel bombed its nuclear sites during a 12-day war in June.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's comments, delivered at a mosque and published on a government website, come after Iran and European powers agreed on Aug 22 to resume talks to try to restart full negotiations on curbing Tehran's nuclear enrichment work.
"They want Iran to be obedient to America. The Iranian nation will stand with all of its power against those who have such erroneous expectations," Mr Khamenei was reported as saying.
"People who ask us not to issue slogans against the US...to have direct negotiations with the US only see appearances...This issue is unsolvable," he added.
