Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was quoted by a news agency as saying the six-power talks over Iran's controversial nuclear program demonstrated "the enmity of America against Iran, Iranians, Islam, and Muslims." His remarks come as a new round of talks, aimed at hammering out the details of implementation on a deal aimed at containment, was set for Thursday. While President Hassan Rowhani has shown willingness to engage in the diplomatic process, the hardline Khamenei represents a core refusal in the upper echelon's of Iranian politics to see the talks as legitimate.
