DUBAI (Reuters) -Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Tuesday that negotiations with the United States would not serve Tehran's interests and would prove a "dead-end".

In a recorded message, Khamenei also said Iran would not "surrender to pressure" regarding uranium enrichment and he reiterated Tehran's long-standing official position that it does not need nuclear weapons and has no intention of producing them.
