Iran's Khamenei open to nuclear deal with West despite fears.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that a deal with the West over Tehran's nuclear work was possible if the country's nuclear infrastructure remained intact. Khamenei's guarded approval comes days after both Tehran and Washington denied a report that they were nearing an interim deal under which Tehran would curb its nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief. The 2015 agreement limited Iran’s uranium enrichment activity to make it harder for Tehran to develop nuclear arms, in return for lifting international sanctions.
