Iran's President Condemns US Bullying Behavior
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian lashed out at the United States for adopting bullying policy regarding Tehran's nuclear program and the so-called snapback mechanism, and emphasized that Tehran continues its path of resilience and dignity in the face of oppression.
Speaking during a cabinet meeting on Sunday, Pezeshkian slammed the re-imposition of United Nations sanctions as “unacceptable”, and said that Tehran remained at the negotiating table “until the last moment” in pursuit of a fair solution.Pezeshkian denounced the United States' irrational behavior toward Iran's sincere diplomatic efforts on the nuclear issue.Pezeshkian stated that “any restrictions and sanctions are definitely reprehensible and unacceptable from our point of view,” adding “we have been present at the negotiating table until the last moment to clarify and reach a fair and logical solution.”He criticized the other side for wanting “to take all our assets in exchange for a few months' opportunity” before raising “new demands”—an approach he said “will never be accepted".He pointed to the US bullying tactics, stressing in accordance with the Holy Quran, “The bullies will never be satisfied with us unless we submit to their will; however, this will never happen.”
The UN Security Council on Sunday reimposed sanctions on Iran, a decade after they were lifted as part of the nuclear deal in a move triggered by European states unfoundedly maligning Iran’s nuclear program, while disregarding the West’s own role in undermining the agreement.Tehran announced that talks were held with European countries on matters related to the snapback mechanism and apparently an accord was reached. However, after their discussions with the Americans, they started making excuses.Iranian officials have strongly warned the US and its allies against triggering the snapback mechanism.
Pezeshkian pointed to the failed attempts of the Americans to disrupt and sabotage Iran’s exports at the height of sanctions and war.He contrasted Iran's natural resource wealth with other nations, stating, “Many countries in the world not only do not have oil and gas resources, but are forced to import them to meet their domestic needs; however, they have taken the path of development and progress with seriousness.”Iran, he noted, by relying on “the power of experts, elites, and the empathy of the people, will be able to reduce its dependence on oil resources and continue its development programs with strength".Pezeshkian reiterated that Iran has “never sought to acquire nuclear weapons and we do not”, a stance rooted not only in official policy but in a religious fatwa and principles.He expressed Iran’s readiness for a “logical, fair” dialogue but dismissed any negotiation that would entangle the nation in “new issues and problems".
