Iranian Military Leader Says Country Will Not Give Ground in Nuke Talks -- Washington Examiner

Iran ‘More distrustful of the U.S.’ than ever


A senior Iranian military leader said on Tuesday that Iran will not acquiesce to Western nuclear negotiators and that the regime is “more distrustful than ever” of the United States, according to state-run media reports.

Western media outlets reported last week that nuclear talks between Iran and the West had ended on an “upbeat” note, with negotiators on both sides giving ground in a bid to reach a final deal.
