The US proposal for a new nuclear deal was submitted to Iran on Saturday by Oman, who has mediated talks between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.
After five rounds of talks, some of the difficult-to-bridge problems still exist, including Iran's insistence on maintaining uranium enrichment in its territory and Tehran's refusal to send overseas all its highly enriched uranium supplies, a possible raw material for nuclear bombs.
Khamenei, who has a final say in all state matters, said nothing about stopping negotiations, but said the US proposal "contrary to the confidence of our nation in independence and the principle of 'We Can'".
