Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the nuclear deal with the West won’t change the Islamic Republic’s relationship with the U.S. or its alliances in the region.

In his first speech since the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) was announced in Vienna July 14, Khamenei thanked President Hassan Rouhani and Iran’s negotiators for their “hard work and efforts” and asked officials to carefully consider the text of the deal and allow it to run its course through the approval process without misunderstanding its content.
