The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei rejects on Tuesday conditional removal of anti-Iran sanctions.

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei rejects on Tuesday conditional removal of anti-Iran sanctions, stressing that Tehran will neither agree with a 10-year-long restriction on its nuclear activities nor the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) verification of its undertakings as acceptable terms for a deal with the world powers.

"The Americans are seeking to destroy Iran's nuclear industry and on the opposite side everyone in Iran, including myself, the government, the parliament, the judiciary, the security and military bodies and all other bodies, support a good agreement, that is a fair, just and honorable deal in line with Iran's interests," the Supreme Leader said.

Addressing a meeting with heads of the three branches of power and senior state and military officials, his eminence reviewed the history of nuclear negotiations, stating that the US extended the period of talks from "6 months to one year first, and then lengthened the negotiations by making repeated excessive demands and even threats to boost the sanctions and speaking of militarism on and under the table".

"The Americans mean to destroy Iran's nuclear industry ... and somehow keep the pressures and sanctions at the same time," Sayyed Khamenei noted, adding that Washington's main objective is to make Iran surrender and become a dependent nation.

Grand Ayatollah said that negotiating means to give and take, but "we have stated since the very beginning that we want the cruel sanctions be removed, of course, we accept to give some points in return but on the condition that the nuclear industry is not halted or harmed."

Elaborating on the redlines in nuclear talks, his eminence rejected long-term restriction and stressed the Iranian right to continue nuclear research and development during the period of limited activities.

"We do not accept long-term 10 to 12 years restrictions and we have told them the acceptable number of years for limitations... They say that we shouldn't do anything in the 12-year period, but this a doubly wrong and bullying word," his eminence said.

Emphasizing Iran's third redline, Sayyed Khamenei said: "All the economic, financial and banking sanctions, no matter they are related to the Security Council or the US Congress or the US administration, should be terminated immediately and right at the time when the agreement is endorsed, and the rest of the sanctions should also be removed in rational intervals."

The Leader said the US has put forward a complicated, multi-layered and estrange formula for the termination of the sanctions with no guaranteed result for Iran, "but we state our points in very explicit terms."

"Termination of the sanctions should depend on the fulfillment of Iran's undertakings; they should avoid saying that we should do our undertakings and then the Agency (IAEA) needs to verify them before the sanctions are removed, (because) we absolutely do not accept such a thing," Grand Ayatollah underscored.

The Supreme Leader further reiterated that sanctions removal by the powers should correspond to the undertakings that are fulfilled by Iran, meaning that the sanctions that are to be removed should carry the same weight, value and arrangement of the undertakings that Iran fulfills.

Ayatollah Khamenei expressed wonderment that the West says before removing the sanctions 'the Agency should be ensured'. "What an irrational word this is, how could it make sure, unless it inspects every inch of this land," his eminence stated.

He then reiterated his definite opposition to "unconventional inspections, interrogation of Iranian figures and inspection of military centers", citing them as among Iran's other redlines.

Moreover, the Iranian Supreme Leader underlined that Iran would never accept a deal at any price, saying, "We are seeking to remove the sanctions, but we see them as an opportunity from a different angle because they have caused us to pay more attention to domestic forces and capacities."

His remarks came as Iran and the world powers are trying to work out a comprehensive agreement before the July 1 deadline and the latest reports from the negotiations say that rejecting to remove sanctions by the West has slowed down progress in drafting the final deal.
