Iran responds over US proposal for negotiations

Tehran, May 19, IRNA – US proposal for negotiations with Iran is a kind ofdeceit in the current situation and aims to impose US unilateral demands,according to Iran’s ambassador to Venezuela.

Speaking to Venezuela’s VTV channel on Sunday, Mostafa A’laei said that thecause of US hostile approach towards Iran is Tehran’s opposition to the USaggressive and geopolitical policies in the region.

Since the very beginning of the Islamic Revolution, the United Statesadopted a hostile approach towards Iran, with destabilizing policies suchas taking provocative measures, using economic sanctions on the country andcreating terrorist groups, A’laei said.

The US is not resolved for waging a war because of Iran’s might and highpower of responding to any possible attack and Iran is not seeking amilitary confrontation too, the ambassador added.

Asked about Iran’s suspension of some of the commitments it had made undera 2015 nuclear deal with world powers in reaction to US unilateral exitfrom the deal, he said that Iran was entitled to do so under Articles 26and 36 of the accord, after a year of patience in the face of US disloyaltyand Europe’s inaction.
