BREAKING: Iran�s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that the US nuclear deal proposal was �against Tehran�s national interests� and that Iran will not abandon uranium enrichment.

Speaking at an event marking 36 years since the death of his predecessor, Khamenei said in a speech that uranium enrichment is key to the country�s nuclear program and that the US proposal to end it violates Iranian independence.

Khamenei also addressed President Trump, saying, �Who are you to tell us whether we can have a nuclear program or not? We will not give up the ability to enrich uranium.�
