Senior Iranian cleric: America is still 'the Great Satan'

Nuclear agreement or not, Iran still considers the United States to be “the Great Satan”, a senior cleric declared on Friday.

Speaking in Tehran and quoted by the Tasnim news agency, Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami warned against the American administration's “endless hostility” towards the Islamic Republic, saying that the nuclear deal with world powers should not lead to Iranian optimism about “the enemy”.
