“As European leaders warn of imminently reimposing sanctions against Iran, the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stressed that Iran had no intentions of building an atomic weapon in a national address from Tehran on Tuesday. But he also insisted there was no point in negotiating with the United States — one of the top conditions that three European countries have said would be essential for them to extend sanctions relief. Mr. Khamenei reiterated that Iran had no plans to enrich its stock of uranium to the point where it could be used for a bomb. ‘Since we do not need weapons and have decided against nuclear arms, we have not gone that far,’ he said.” (09/23/25)
