Iran: Saeed Jalili says the nuclear talks with the US are useless and harmful; hostility must be costly for enemies Jalili said Iran cannot fulfill all its nuclear commitments while deprived of its rights and subject to military attack, and that the JCPOA attempt should not be repeated. According to him, the enemy attacked Iran just as Iranian officials were quoted as saying that negotiations were progressing. He rejected promises that the negotiations would bring in $2 trillion, a claim he said even the Americans don't claim. He also said Obama, who once called the Strait of Hormuz a vital American interest, now says Iran has veto power there.
