Iran rejected a U.S.-proposed nuclear deal Wednesday, vowing to continue enriching uranium while negotiations appear to be stalling after five

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei criticized the U.S. proposal for a nuclear deal on Wednesday and stressed Iran won't accept an agreement that makes its nuclear program dependent on other countries.

Iran’s supreme leader effectively rejected a U.S. proposal that allows temporary uranium enrichment in the country before ending it completely, forcing the White House to reconsider its approach as tensions mount over Iran’s nuclear program.
