"What Has Happened So Far Is No Guarantee Of An Agreement, Of Negotiations That Will Lead To An Agreement, Of The Details Of [Such] An Agreement, Or Even That These Talks Will Conclude In An Agreement"
On April 9, 2015, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei spoke about the April 2, 2015 Lausanne declaration, clarifying that it was merely a statement for the media, with nothing having been agreed regarding the details of the negotiations – details that the parties will only begin to discuss later on. As such, he said, there was no need for a response from him regarding the declaration.
Khamenei noted that he had no confidence in Iran's American negotiating partner, saying that it is "a cheater and a liar," and pointing out that the Americans have been misrepresenting the details of the negotiations in public for domestic political purposes, and also in order to deal with the opponents of the negotiations. He called President Obama's speech following the Lausanne declaration "smiling deception" and warned against believing in his promises.

This is just farting off for the locals. Iran cannot be seen to actually have an agreement with the despised West.

Yep... just like North Korea.
Kim Jong spouts his "America is evil" horseshyte to his peasants while accepting aid from the U.S.

I don't know where Khamenei gets this stuff. From Nixon to Obama, American leaders have been nothing but paragons of virtue, integrity, and honesty.

They will never sign any deal that says they can't have them.
Pssst.
They already have signed a deal. It's getting them to guarantee they'll stick with it that seems to be the issue

Why?
Iran doesn't want a deal.
Obama trying to force one so he can actually claim a single foreign policy win after 6 years of absolute failures, doesn't make it mandatory.
Iran wants nukes.
They will never sign any deal that says they can't have them.
So why do you think he "needs" to sit down and make a deal?
