Iran-US Relations

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman says the US decision to stop supporting the Saudi war on Yemen may help settle the conflict.

An Iranian vice president says the enemies were seeking to put the brakes on the nation’s economic progress, but to no avail.

The Iranian president has described as a “major legal victory” for Iran the International Court of Justice (ICJ)’s decision to review the case brought by Tehran against the US.

The Iranian foreign minister says the International Court of Justice's rejection of the United States’ objections in a lawsuit brought by Tehran against Washington is yet another victory for Iran.

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman says the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague has announced that it has jurisdiction over a case on violations of the 1955 Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, rejecting all the US objections in this regard.

A senior Iranian official says Europe has in the past few weeks been engaged more actively with the United States on Iran and the nuclear deal.

The Iranian president says the new US administration should comply with the UN Security Council resolution that endorsed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

Iran’s government spokesman Ali Rabiei says the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers have survived so far thanks to the Iranian nation’s resistance, and it’s now the other parties’ duty to keep it alive.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell can resolve the “Mexican standoff” between Iran and the US over the two sides’ return to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal in his capacity as the JCPOA coordinator.

A senior Iranian official says documents pertaining to the United States’ economic war against Iran should be collected for the generation to come so as to prove how Iran won with bare hands.

A senior Iranian official says Tehran has never withdrawn from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), so it would be pointless to say Iran should return to the agreement.

First Vice-President Es'haq Jahangiri says the Iranian people’s resistance resulted in the United States’ surrender.

The Iranian president says Iran will live up to all of its commitments as soon as the United States returns to its obligations.

The Iranian government spokesman has urged the new US administration to release Iran’s frozen assets, so that Tehran can use them to fight the coronavirus pandemic and buy food and medicines for its citizens.

The Iranian foreign minister says it is the United States, not Iran, that should show a goodwill gesture with regards to its commitments under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA).

The Iranian government spokesman says Tehran is waiting for the new US administration to announce whether or how it will begin to deliver on its commitments as per the 2015 nuclear deal (officially known as the JCPOA).

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says his visit to Moscow would involve negotiations on a range of issues, such as the strategic ties between Iran and Russia and the need to coordinate policies as the new US president has taken office.

A senior Iranian diplomat says the country has completely lost its trust in the United States and Europe.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the Islamic Republic and the United States need to hold negotiations, not on all issues, but on certain issues like oil or Persian Gulf security.

A host of former Iranian deputy foreign ministers and ambassadors have issued a statement on Iran's expectations of new US President Joe Biden.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has called on the new US administration to reject “failed assumptions” and seek peace and comity instead of embracing the “failed policies” of Donald Trump.

The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) have signed an agreement on January 21 as the new US president has taken office.

Iran says Donald Trump, who left the White House on Wednesday, will be “relegated to the dustbin of history in disgrace” for assassinating Iranian anti-terror commander Lt. General Qassem Soleimani, while the latter’s memory will continue to “shine on”.

The Iranian president says US President Donald Trump’s "dark and vicious" rule has come to an end, leaving behind a legacy of political isolation for Washington.

The Iranian foreign minister has urged the new US administration to fulfill Washington’s commitments and lift sanctions on Iran, returning to the pre-Trump era.
