Reuters: Iran's supreme leader bans negotiations with the United States
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday banned any further negotiations between Iran and the United States, putting the brakes on moderates hoping to end Iran's isolation after reaching a nuclear deal with world powers in July.
Khamenei, the highest authority in the Islamic Republic, already said last month there would be no more talks with the United States after the nuclear deal, but has not previously declared an outright ban.
His statements directly contradict those of moderate Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who says his government is ready to hold talks with the United States on how to resolve the conflict in Syria, where the two countries back opposing sides.
WNU Editor: I call this "giving the finger" to President Obama. Interesting .... the rumor mill is that John Kerry and Iran's foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif are probably going to get the Nobel Peace Prize this Friday.

I guess the Nobel Peace Prize committee has lost its mind.
“Negotiation with the US means opening the path for their influence in Iran’s economic, cultural, political and security affairs,” he explained, adding that a big portion of enemy's activity is directed to changing Iranian officials' vision and manipulating the religious and revolutionary beliefs of the masses."
That man studies history.

The international equivalent to the sports "participation trophy" for 6 year olds.
At least they were truthful this time.
