Khamenei says Iranian people won't accept talks under threat

Threats by US officials against Tehran jeopardize the progress of negotiations on the nuclear issue, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said.

"The Iranian people will not accept holding talks under the shadow of threat. The US' need for nuclear talks is no less than Iran's, if not more," RIA Novosti reports, with reference to Iran's Arabic language satellite television channel al-Alam.
