"The issue of relations between the countries is up to them. What connects us is the bilateral relations between Tehran and Caracas, which is maintained at the highest level and the ground for development is more than in the past."

There is an exchange of views between Iran, US

In response to a question about the nuclear talks between Iran and the United States and whether the nuclear agreement is not on the US agenda anymore, Kanaani said: "The US foreign policy on Iran has been taken hostage by the Zionists."

"The nuclear case, as has been announced many times, is not the only case of Iran's foreign policy, it is a bilateral agreement," added Kanaani.

"The country that violated the commitment is the US and it should be held accountable. Iran has a clear position and will notwithdraw from its red lines."

Iran condemns European MPs regarding political sponsorship of rioters

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman said: "Unfortunately, we are witnessing the undesirable and excessive use of all respected principles in international relations by the European authorities."

Kanaani also stated: "We know the nature of these theatrical actions in line with political goals."

"We ask the question to the free thinkers and public opinion of the world if those states claiming to support human rights are really seeking to support human and universal human values and political prisoners, why are not they using political sponsorship to support thousands of oppressed Palestinian prisoners in the dreaded prisons of the Zionist regime?", the official noted.

Kanaani highlighted, "Why don't they use this capacity to support oppressed political prisoners in their allied countries who violate human rights? Why don't they use it to support the oppressed refugees of the countries of the region, Yemen, Syria, Libya, who are displaced due to the wars imposed by Europe and are in Western camps and prisons in Europe and the US?"

The spokesman has stressed that this is a misuse of respected legal principles and concepts, and we recommend these actions be stopped. "The action is worthless and spoiling legal concepts."
