July 12 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Government of Iran has criticized on Tuesday the “contradictory” policy of the United States in the negotiations to try to reactivate the 2015 nuclear agreement and has denounced that Washington maintains sanctions and “pressure” in the midst of the talks.
The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Naser Kanani, recalled that the Donald Trump Administration withdrew “unilaterally” in 2018 from the nuclear agreement and “caused great damage to the multilateral diplomacy strategy to resolve disputes.”
“The current US government, despite its statements and claims about a return to the agreement and compensation for the mistakes of the previous administration, unfortunately maintains the same position in practice, continuing sanctions and economic pressure,” he said. .
Thus, he has criticized the recent words of the US president, Joe Biden, in an article published over the weekend in which he claimed to work to guarantee stability in the Middle East and has said that this can only be achieved if Washington “ends the policy to stir up differences between the countries of the region, stop handing over weapons, respect the sovereignty of countries and abandon its unconditional support for the Zionist regime,” referring to Israel.
“In case these wrong policies are not corrected, the United States will bear the main responsibility for instability in the Middle East,” Kanani said in a message on the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s website.
On the other hand, he has charged against Biden for praising the work of the United States against the Islamic State jihadist group and has highlighted that the United States killed in January 2020 in a bombing the then leader of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guard, Qasem Soleimani, “Hero of the fight against Islamic State and ‘takfiri’ terrorism”.
The talks for the return of the United States to the agreement and for Iran to return to the respect of its commitments were reactivated on November 29 in Vienna. Iran has announced the withdrawal of its commitments on several of the points of the agreement after the United States left the pact unilaterally in 2018, although the Iranian authorities have defended that these steps can be reversed if the United States withdraws the sanctions and returns to the agreement.
