Iran's top leader said on Saturday that U.S. President Donald Trump's policies face opposition across the world as Washington prepares to reimpose sanctions on Iran's vital oil-exporting and financial sectors, state television reported. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also said Iran's arch-adversary the United States had failed to reassert its domination over Iran since the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution that toppled the U.S.-backed Shah. "The world opposes every decision made by Trump," Iranian state television quoted Khamenei as saying during a meeting with thousands of students. "Mogherini and the European ministers ... highlighted the importance of the finance ministers' commitment to Europe's financial mechanism to save the Iran nuclear deal and said themechanism will be operational in the coming days," IRNA said. Trump denounced the nuclear deal, approved by his predecessor Barack Obama, as flawed in Iran's favour and withdrew Washington from the pact in May.
