7/21/15Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s speech last Friday vowing that his country’s policy against the “arrogant” United States would not change was “disturbing,” Secretary of State John Kerry says.

 

The address came three days after Iran and six world powers reached a landmark agreement on the country’s nuclear program.

 

In an interview Monday with Saudi-owned Al Arabiya, as quoted by the network on Tuesday, Kerry said he would take the comments for what they are. “I don’t know how to interpret it at this point in time, except to take it at face value, that that’s his policy. But I do know that often comments are made publicly and things can evolve that are different,” he said. “If it is the policy, it’s very disturbing, it’s very troubling, and we’ll have to wait and see.”

 

According to reports, the podium where Khamenei spoke on Friday featured the Persian-language message reading, “We will trample upon America,” with the English phrase “We Defeat the United States” below it.
