In a live televised address to the nation, the Iranian Supreme Leader today demanded the US lift its ‘brutal sanctions’ on the country 

In a live televised address to the nation, the Iranian Supreme Leader today demanded the US lift its ‘brutal sanctions’ on the country. 

He also said Tehran was in no rush for the U.S. to rejoin a 2015 nuclear deal. 

Khamenei said: ‘We are not insisting nor in a hurry for the deal. But what is logical is our demand [that] is the lifting of the sanctions. These brutal sanctions must be lifted immediately.’  

Tensions have grown between Tehran and Washington since 2018, when U.S. President Donald Trump exited the deal between Iran and six world powers – which sought to limit Tehran’s nuclear programme and prevent it developing atomic weapons – and reimposed sanctions that have crippled Iran’s economy.

In retaliation, Tehran started gradually violating the accord.

Potentially complicating efforts by U.S. President-elect Joe Biden to rejoin the deal, Iran said on Monday it had resumed 20% uranium enrichment at its Fordow underground nuclear facility.

The U.N. nuclear watchdog confirmed that Iran had started the process of enriching uranium to 20% purity.

Tehran says it can quickly reverse its breaches if U.S. sanctions are removed. Biden, who takes office on Jan. 20, has said the United States will rejoin the deal if Iran resumes strict compliance with the pact.
