Yesterday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif urged US President-elect Joe Biden to abandon Washington’s “dishonest” behavior and lift the sanctions imposed on his country, rejecting any speech to renegotiate the agreement. 2015 nuclear power station. Zarif noted that when outgoing President Donald Trump withdrew from the landmark agreement, the United States violated the UN Security Council resolution that backed it. He added, during an online meeting at the Italian-hosted “Mediterranean Dialogues” Forum, that “the United States violated the agreement in a significant way, because the Trump administration was a rogue regime.” He continued: “Now, if the president-elect wants to continue with this dishonest system, then he can continue to request negotiations to implement his obligations.” However, saying: “The United States must stop its violations of international law. The matter does not require any negotiation.

The decades-long tension between the United States and Iran has intensified after Trump unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018 and reimposed tough sanctions on the Islamic Republic. However, Biden confirmed, in an interview published the day before yesterday by “The New York Times”, that he intends to quickly launch new negotiations with Tehran, “in consultation” with Washington’s allies, but only after the United States returns to the United States. agreement. But Zarif said: “We will not renegotiate an agreement that we previously negotiated.” He added that Western powers should consider their own behavior before criticizing Iran’s behavior, noting that “The West sold (the Persian Gulf countries) more weapons than it sold to any other part of the world. More than $ 100 billion is the value of the weapons sold to this region, “he asked,” Is the West ready to stop this malicious behavior? “
Zarif expressed dissatisfaction with what he described as “the lack of European anger” towards the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, last week, in an attack that Tehran held responsible for Israel. “When they (the West) are ready to deal with these problems stemming from their malicious behavior in the region, then they can start talking about other things,” he said. “As long as they cannot accept that, they must remain silent.”
