Sadegh Kharazi, a former Iranian ambassador to the United Nations and France, told reporters Friday that Iran is opposed to drawn-out nuclear talks and that Washington has no option but agree to the lifting of sanctions in one go.

The former diplomat added, �Whatever the American officials presently say are for domestic consumption.�
Kharazi said, �It�s the Supreme Leader who has the final say in foreign policy matters and he is opposed to protracted talks. I hope that the Leader�s views are fully acted upon. American officials express their own ideas and we insist on our own general policies.�
