Ayatollah Drops Bomb on Nuke Talks

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
It’s a power play. Just a week before the June 30 nuclear deal deadline, Iran’s supreme leader broadcast “red lines” ruling out military site inspections and long-term development bans, while demanding immediate sanctions relief. Many saw his speech as last-minute bargaining hot air, but if Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s words hold sway, they could stymie negotiations nearly a decade in the making and just days from final compromises. Without Iran’s permission to let inspectors visit suspected nuclear production sites, it’s unlikely a deal will be inked.
