Khamenei: Iran will only accept action, not talk, on nuclear deal

Iran and the US insist the other side must return to full compliance under the landmark nuclear deal.

Tehran, Iran – Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Iran will only accept and react to positive action by other parties to its 2015 nuclear deal as it has seen promises broken before. Khamenei said during a televised speech on Wednesday that Iran has heard a lot of “good talk and promises” that were not only violated, but their opposite came to be. “This time only action. If we see action from the other side, we will also act. The Islamic Republic will not be satisfied with promises of actions,” he said to the people of Tabriz on the anniversary of their 1978 protests that are considered one of the events that led to the revolution a year later.
