Tehran : Iran`s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned on Tuesday that the country`s next president should avoid making "concessions" to the west, saying this would not ease tensions over Tehran`s nuclear drive.
Khamenei is the ultimate decision maker in Iran and has the final say on all key issues, including its controversial nuclear programme, a major source of concern in the West over suspicions the Islamic republic is using it to develop weapons.
"Some (candidates) have the wrong analysis that by giving concessions to enemies, their anger towards Iran will be reduced," Khamenei said in a live televised speech. "This is a mistake."
