Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is saying the fate of a historic nuclear deal with world powers is still unclear as lawmakers in both the Islamic Republic and the U.S. review it.
Referring to the U.S., Khamenei said: "In their understanding of the deal, of which its fate is not clear since it is not clear if will be approved here or there, their intention was to find a way to penetrate into the country."
The remarks by Khamenei, who has final say on all state matters in Iran, suggests he supports politicians' role in approving the deal.
