Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei is the only person who is authorized to decide about Tehran-Washington relations

“Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei is the only person who is authorized to decide about Tehran-Washington relations,” the secretary of the Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaei said on Sunday.
 
Speaking to reporters in Shiraz on Sunday, Rezaie noted that the US doesn’t seek a logical relation with Iran. “Despite the fact that Islamic Republic has shown good willing in various occasions, American officials want Tehran to bend toward them in any potential negotiation.”

He voiced hope that the upcoming talks between Tehran and the G5+1(Permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany) make a constructive result. The last round of the fresh talks between Tehran and the Group 5+1 ended in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on February 27.

Before Almaty talks, Iran and the G5+1 had already held three rounds of negotiations in Geneva, two rounds in Istanbul, one round in Baghdad and one round in Moscow. The last round of talks between Iran and the Group 5+1 was held in Moscow in June.
