Iran's Khamenei says he approved MoU with US, despite reservations, after assurances on Iran's rights

Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said on Thursday ​he had authorised a memorandum ‌of understanding signed by the Iranian and U.S. presidents, despite holding ​a different view, after ​receiving assurances from President Masoud ⁠Pezeshkian and other senior ​officials that Iran's rights and the ​interests of the "Resistance Front" would be safeguarded.
In a written message to ​the Iranian nation, Khamenei said ​Pezeshkian, in his capacity as head ‌of ⁠the Supreme National Security Council, had accepted responsibility for ensuring the agreement protected Iran's interests ​and ​pledged not ⁠to yield if Washington made what he ​described as excessive demands. Khamenei ​added ⁠that future face-to-face negotiations with the United States would not ⁠mean ​accepting "the enemy's position".
