Iran's supreme leader says, 'there will be no talks with the US at any level' as Tehran faces allegations it was behind an attack on a Saudi oil field
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gives a speech to a group of scholars and seminary students of religious sciences in Tehran, Iran, September 17, 2019.
"Iranian officials, at any level, will never talk to American officials... this is part of their policy to put pressure on Iran," Iranian state TV quoted Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as saying. The US assessment determined that "Iran launched more than 20 drones and at least a dozen missiles," according to unnamed sources.
The United Arab Emirates, a Saudi ally, rejected Rouhani's attempt to "justify the unprecedented terrorist attack". Merkel also suggested she wanted to stick to Germany's halt in arms exports to Saudi despite the attacks, saying she did not see any reason to change the government's stance.
