Everyone knew from the very beginning that the final signature belongs to the 'Leadership.' Although Ayatollah Khamenei finally endorsed the conclusion of the nuclear negotiations last week, he simultaneously described it as 'suffering from multiple ambiguities and structural weaknesses' and conditioned his final approval on new requirements; conditions that are described as outside the current framework of the JCPOA. This week, the program 'Sixth Hour' hosted Mehrdad Emadi, a sanctions and economic issues expert, Ali Asghar Ramadanpour, a political analyst, and the audience of Radio Farda to discuss Ayatollah Khamenei's position on the nuclear program.
