Iran's Khamenei: Nuclear Program to Continue

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, says that Iran has no intention of stopping its uranium enrichment program, despite a U.N. incentives package to end its nuclear program. Iran's self-imposed deadline to respond to the U.N. offer arrives Tuesday.

Iranian officials have said there will be a "multifaceted response" to the proposal.
