Ayatollah Ali Khamenei espoused his position on the nuclear agreement in a letter to Iranian president Rouhani
Iran`s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei approved the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers and ordered it to be implemented subject to certain conditions, his official website said on Wednesday.

In a letter to President Hassan Rouhani, Iran`s top leader said the United States and European Union should clearly announce the elimination of sanctions against Iran, and warned that the deal had several structural weak points.

Iran and the P5+1 group of countries, comprised of the United States, Russia, China, France and the United Kingdom plus Germany, reached a comprehensive agreement on July 14 to ensure the peaceful nature of Tehran`s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.

Under the deal, Tehran has agreed to maintain the level of its uranium enrichment under 3.67 percent for a period of 15 years and keep its uranium stockpile under 300 kilograms (some 661 pounds). All enriched uranium above the amount stipulated by the agreement must be removed from Iran.
