00:00Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeini has sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump,
00:06casting doubt on the future of nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
00:11Speaking in Tehran, the 86-year-old leader said the United States
00:14has long sought to undermine Iran's government since the 1979 Islamic Revolution but has failed,
00:21adding that it would not succeed now.
00:23Khomeini rejected any talks based on what he called foolish demands,
00:26particularly calls for Iran to reduce uranium enrichment to zero.
00:31He also used religious references to question the possibility of meaningful rapprochement with
00:35Washington. His remarks came just hours before Iran's foreign minister announced that an
00:41understanding on guiding principles had been reached during indirect talks in Geneva,
00:45highlighting the fragile and uncertain path ahead.
