# Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says a US proposal for a nuclear agreement was against the national interest, amid sharp differences over whether Tehran can continue to enrich uranium. The longtime foes have held five rounds of talks since April to thrash out a new accord to replace the deal with major powers that US President Donald Trump abandoned during his first term in 2018. Khamenei said in a televised speech the latest US proposal is 100-percent against the ideals of the 1979 Islamic revolution.
