Iran's Supreme Leader: Don't Trust, Don't Cooperate with America
(New York Times) Rick Gladstone - Iran's top leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Friday that trusting or cooperating with the U.S. would be a big mistake, an assertion that seemed to rule out any greater collaboration despite the nuclear deal reached a year ago. "We have many small and big enemies," he said, noting that the worst are the U.S., Britain and Israel, which he described as "the damned and cancerous Zionist regime." Khamenei appeared to dismiss any possibility of greater coordination with the Americans, exhorting Iranians not to be lulled into "the enemy's deceptive plots to entangle Iran."
