Supreme Leader: Nuclear Deal Will Not Change Iran's Relations With U.S.
By Bozorgmehr Sharafedin Nouri and Babak Dehghanpisheh, July 18, 2015 Yahoo News
DUBAI/BEIRUT (Reuters) - Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Saturday the nuclear deal with world powers did not signal any wider shift in Iran's relationship with Washington or its policies in the Middle East.
The agreement struck this week was met with celebrations in the streets of Tehran as many Iranians anticipated it would allow the economy, battered by years of sanctions, to stabilize and make their daily lives easier.
But Khamenei, who has the last word on high matters of state and had given his blessing to the nuclear talks, moved to dampen any speculation it would lead to a broader rapprochement with the United States.
