Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said whether or not Iran approves the nuclear deal reached by diplomats earlier this week, the nation will keep its anti-U.S. policy, Reuters reports.

"We will never stop supporting our friends in the region and the people of Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Bahrain, and Lebanon," he said in a Tehran mosque Saturday. "Even after this deal our policy towards the arrogant U.S. will not change."
