Iran Press/America: In an exclusive interview with MSNBC News, Majid Takht Ravanchi dismissed statements from the US President Donald Trump administration that Tehran posed a heightened danger to the US interests in the region.
Asked about Trump's comments, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations added that Iran had been talking with the six powers, including the United States, within the framework of the nuclear deal, IRNA reported.
'All of a sudden he decided to leave the negotiating table. ... What is the guarantee that he will not renege again?' Takht Ravanchi said.
He dismissed the US allegations of an Iranian threat as 'fake intelligence', and said that they were “being produced by the same people who in the run-up to the US invasion of Iraq did the same'.
Takht Ravanchi disputed statements made by Trump while also describing the recent reports of a threat made by Iran as fake intelligence.
"He’s wrong about the facts, wrong about the law, and sadly he’s been wrong about how to use diplomacy to keep America safe,” the spokesman said.
“We’d hope Trump would focus on solving foreign policy problems for America instead of attacking his predecessors for theater,” Iran's ambassador to the United Nations said.
On May 08, the Iranian President announced that Iran has not and will not leave the nuclear negotiating table, and sincerely wants the nuclear deal to succeed, but the JCPOA needs major surgery to survive.
Also, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said his country stops implementing some commitments under a 2015 nuclear deal that the US has made impossible to continue.
In this regard, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in an interview on Wednesday about the reason for Iran's revision decision on JCPOA said: "It is more than two years that we have faced radical government and ahead of it, a phenomenon called Donald Trump, who believed that the JCPOA is the worst and the most disgraceful deal ever happened in the U.S. history,"
"They admitted in their statements to serve the interests of Iran in operational ways in fields of finance and banking, oil and gas, petrochemical products, transportation, investment, business, etc. The JCPOA remained, but European countries were not that much successful in practical activities," Deputy Foreign Minister continued. 105/201/213
