Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said Friday that Tehran “never has hope” in the ongoing talks seeking to revive the 2015 nuclear accord. 

“We put our hopes in the east, west, north, south of our country and never have hope in Vienna and New York,” Iran’s hard-liner president said during a televised speech marking the anniversary of the 1979 revolution.
