TEHRAN, June 24 (UPI) -- Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said no commitments will be fulfilled unless sanctions are "lifted immediately" and apparently reeled back from agreements nuclear negotiators have made.
"All economic, financial and banking sanctions, implemented either by the United Nations Security Council, the United States Congress or the administration, must be lifted immediately when the deal is signed," Khamenei said in a speech Tuesday. "Unlike the insistence from the Americans, we do not accept long-term limitations of 10, 12 years, and we told them how many years [of] limitations we are ready to accept."
