Leader of Islamic Revolution: US remarks ’cause for suspicion’

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says recent remarks by US leaders after official implementation of a nuclear accord and lifting of sanctions on Iran are “totally a cause for suspicion.”

In a letter to President Hassan Rouhani, the Leader urged the government “to take care the other side fully fulfills its obligations” under a nuclear accord which went into force on Saturday.

US officials have stepped up their anti-Iran rhetoric, accusing Tehran of posing a “threat to regional and global security” after Washington announced new sanctions over Iran’s ballistic-missile program.

“It must be taken care that the opposite side fully fulfills its obligations. Remarks by some American politicians in the past two or three days are a cause for suspicion,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.

“I stress again that in this issue and other issues, deceit and breach of promise by arrogant governments, especially America, must not be neglected,” the Leader added.
