‘Iran to Keep Reducing JCPOA Commitments until Its Interests Secured’

Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Abbas Araqchi said Iran’s reduction of its obligations under the Iran nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is in line with the country’s rights stipulated under the JCPOA.

He made the comments in a meeting with Dutch Foreign Minister Stef Blok in The Hague where he is attending the third round of political consultations between Iran and the Netherlands.

In their meeting, Araqchi and Blok discussed the latest international issues, especially developments pertaining to the JCPOA, as well as boosting mutual relations.

High on the agenda of the talks were bilateral, multilateral and regional issues, namely the JCPOA, the Iran-proposed Hormuz Peace Endeavour (HOPE) initiative, shipping security in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, regional developments and reciprocal economic cooperation.

In the meeting, Blok reiterated the need to preserve the JCPOA, saying his country supports France’s initiative to work out a way out of the current crisis.

During the hours-long discussion, Araqchi slammed Europe’s failure to make good on its commitments under the JCPOA further elaborated on the four steps Iran has taken so far to reduce its JCPOA commitments.

He said if Europe wants to preserve the JCPOA, it should be ready to pay the price for that. He further said Iran’s right to stop fulfilling all or part of its obligations under the JCPOA is recognized, and that whatever Iran has done so far with regards to reducing its JCPOA commitments is not in violation of the agreement

Elsewhere in his remarks, Araqchi stressed that peace and security in the Persian Gulf region should be ensured by regional countries themselves, an objective pursued by the HOPE initiative.

“There is no need for coalitions which only result in a flare-up of tensions in the region,” he said.

He then referred to existing potentialities in economic relations between Iran and the Netherlands.

“Under the current circumstances, the Dutch government is expected to facilitate conditions for work by Iranian and Dutch companies and give the necessary assurances to his country’s economic enterprises.

The Dutch official, in turn, underlined Iran’s role in ensuring peace and stability in the region, adding the Netherlands seeks to help ease tension in the region.

Iran Condemns EU’s Interference in Its Internal Affairs

In a Thursday statement, Seyyed Abbas Mousavi slammed the recent remarks by the European officials, particularly by the spokesperson for the Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union, as interference in the internal affairs of Iran.

He also advised the European governments to address their own domestic problems and turmoil in the first place, and try to remedy the widespread discontent that breaks out every week in Europe in various forms and has resulted in extensive losses and arrests.

“What should be taken into account about Iran in the first place is that Europe must be held accountable for reneging on its promise and failure to honour the JCPOA commitments, and for siding with the US’ bullying actions in the sanctions and economic terrorism against people of Iran, not the interventionist remarks and the crocodile tears in support of the thugs and those who vandalize the public and even private properties and places in Iran,” Mousavi added.

Iran Condemns US Legitimization of Illegal Israeli Settlements

Iran Condemns Expansion of EU, US Sanctions on Syria

Seyyed Abbas Mousavi on Thursday said Pompeo’s comments are yet another testament to the United States’ complicity in the occupation of Palestinian territories and the Israeli regime’s crimes in occupied Palestine as well as Israel’s violation of the sovereignty of Palestine’s neighbouring countries.

He said the US officials’ actions and words about Palestine amount to blatant breach of international law, calling on international circles to oppose and counter Washington’s stance.

Mousavi reiterated that Palestinian lands belong to Palestinian people.

“The Zionist regime [of Israel] is a usurper and occupying regime, and the only solution to the Palestine crisis is to hold a referendum among real residents of the Palestinian land,” said the spokesman.

“Pompeo had better extricate himself from thoughts of the 18th century when those in power regarded themselves as being above international law and regulations,” said Mousavi.

“In the 21st century, neither is the US the superior power, nor does anyone accept the violation of international laws by authorities anymore,” he noted.

Mousavi’s remarks came after Pompeo announced that the Trump administration had shifted its policy on the construction of Israeli settlements on Palestinian land and no longer regarded Israeli settlement construction as a breach of international law.

The Swiss envoy was summoned after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, US Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook as well as the White House expressed support for the unrest and riots in Iran, followed protests over the rise in oil price in some Iranian cities.

Earlier, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif slammed the US’ intervention in Iran’s internal affairs, saying that the US government with such coercive economic actions can’t claim that it’s supporting the Iranian nation.

“The regime, that imposes coercive economic actions and bars delivery of food and drugs to the elderly and patients, can never claim that it’s supporting the Iranian nation. Mr. Pompeo should first answer for the announced terrorist actions and crimes against humanity and against the Iranian nation,” he added.

Zarif also warned some European nations against their support for recent violent demonstrations in Iran, saying that “nations that are hiding behind their failure to stand up against the US actions will be responsible for their dangerous acts.”

US Claim of Support for Iranian People ‘Shameful Lie’: Zarif

Mohammad Javad Zarif said Washington claims to be supporting Iranian people while it is ironically keeping food and medicines from reaching Iranians.

“A regime (the US) which, by exercising economic terrorism, keeps food and drugs from reaching ordinary people, including the elderly and patients, can never make the outrageous claim that it supports Iranian people,” said Zarif.

“Mr. Pompeo should first be answerable for the announced acts of terror and crimes against humanity directed at Iranian people,” he added.

“Countries which have failed to show any power and will to stand up to the United States’ economic terrorism, and now are, both on the political front and on the ground, backing chaos and the breach of peace in order to disguise their failure, are accountable for all the consequences of their dangerous provocations,” the top diplomat added.

“People have the right to lawful protest as recognized in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and [we] needn’t be reminded [of that] and this shouldn’t be hypocritically supported by regimes which have announced that their official objective is to force Iran into meeting their illegitimate and illegal demands through exerting economic pressure, even in the domain of food and drugs,” he said.

US in No Position to Sympathize with Iranian People: Foreign Ministry

Iran Vows Appropriate Response to US Interception of Mahan Air Flight

Seyyed Abbas Mousavi urged American authorities to care for their own people rather than Iranians.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran does not see the US government as being in a position to sympathize with the Iranian nation and people. If they are so worried, they should be concerned about the tens of millions of hungry people living across the United States, with no home and in absolute poverty,” he said.

He further condemned US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s interventionist remarks about the recent unrest and riots in some Iranian cities.

“The only thing that doesn’t become Mr. Pompeo is to express support for Iranian people,” said Mousavi.

He touched upon the United States and the Israeli regime’s wicked and ill intentions with regards to the Iranian nation.

“They are sympathizing with people who are pressured by the US economic terrorism. The US secretary of states has already announced loud and clear that Iranian people should be starved in order to surrender,” he said.

Mousavi described Iranians as people who are mature enough and have overcome different hurdles and predicaments.

“This nation will pass this phase, too, and will settle its domestic issues itself,” he said.

“Surprisingly enough, he is expressing sympathy with people who are under US economic pressure,” he said.

The spokesman underlined that the US secretary of state has already announced loud and clear that Iranian people should be starved in order to succumb to Washington’s demands.
