Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzada
Tehran … News Time
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh has hinted that there is room for dialogue with traditional rival America. Saeed Khatibzadeh said at a press conference in the capital, Tehran, on Sunday, November 22, that US crimes against Iran could not be an obstacle to dialogue. He acknowledged that the future of US-Iranian relations is a complex one. Significantly, tensions between the United States and Iran have risen sharply under current President Donald Trump. President Trump has made a number of decisions that favor Iran’s traditional rival, Israel. The most important development is the unilateral withdrawal of the United States from the nuclear deal and the restoration of sanctions. However, now that Democratic candidate Joe Biden has won the US presidential election, it seems that Iran will also show some flexibility so that differences can be resolved through dialogue. In his campaign, Biden has called for diplomacy to address key global issues. What are the US crimes against Iran?
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh, in a press conference, accused the United States of committing crimes and gave examples of several historical events in this regard. He said the United States continued to target the Iranian people. According to Saeed Khatibzadeh, supporting Baghdad in the 1980-1988 war between Iraq and Iran is one of those crimes. The Iranian spokesman also mentioned the death of General Qasim Soleimani in January this year, who was killed in a drone strike in Baghdad. Iran also criminalizes economic sanctions against it. Saeed Khatibzadeh said that for all these reasons, there has been tension between the United States and Iran, but at the same time there is scope for dialogue within a framework. He clarified that this does not mean that Iran has forgotten the crimes against it. Iran’s moderate President Hassan Rouhani has cautiously welcomed Biden’s possible victory in the US election. But hard-line conservative circles in the country resent it. A very conservative local newspaper headlined on Saturday that it was time to attack, not compromise. Such circles allege that the Tehran government has misunderstood the change in America, the great devil.
