Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said negotiations aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear deal are “moving along well,” an assessment that diverged from a general mood of pessimism around the talks.

Addressing a meeting in Tehran, Khamenei acknowledged that a diplomatic success isn’t guaranteed, urging the government not to “tie” its policies to the fate of the accord, state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
