Iran's Top Leader Says He's Not Opposed to Nuclear Talks with U.S. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Iran’s top leader said Thursday he is not opposed to direct talks with
the United States to resolve tensions over its alleged nuclear program.
But Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said he is "not optimistic" about the results
if the United States continues to impose crippling sanctions on Iran.
Khamenei said "What [U.S. officials] mean by talks is that we sit down
and talk until Iran accepts their viewpoint."
