opposed to talks in general, or at least it didn't specify that he rejected talks with Washington, but ONLY indirect talks:
"Mr. Khamenei had publicly and repeatedly banned engaging with Washington, calling it unwise and idiotic...
..Mr. Khamenei relented. He granted his permission for talks, first indirect, through an intermediary, and then, if things proceeded well, for direct talks between U.S. and Iranian negotiators, the two officials said."
Do you think the NY Times was inaccurate in their reporting?
Your reply, a quote from Iran International: http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19485431
“"Our policy remains not to engage in direct negotiations under maximum pressure and military threats. However, indirect negotiations as existed in the past can continue," Araghchi said.
"Indirect negotiations had taken place both under the administration of Mr. Rouhani and Martyr Raisi," he said referring to Iran's previous two presidents.”
does not negate Spanky's quote, unless the Trump administration had engaged in indirect negotiations with Iran during the previous Iranian administrations of Mr. Rouhani and Martyr Raisi.
