Iran Press/ Iran news: Mohammad Javad Zarif spoke to the reporters on the sideline of the opening ceremony of the Iranian Diplomatic Science Association on Tuesday in response to questions about whether Europeans would withdraw from Article 36 of the JCPOA, and also about the EU foreign policy chief's trip, noted that he sent a detailed letter in 14 pages outlining Iran's demands to new EU Foreign Policy Chief before coming to Iran.
He said that from Iran’s point of view, Europe is not in the position to raise its claims in the form of Article 36, as the Islamic Republic has put forward this article after both US and European violations following the US departure from the JCPOA.
Referring to Josep Borrell’s trip to Iran, the Foreign Minister stated that during his visit there were many good discussions about the security of the region and the Hormuz Peace Endeavor and that Iran is ready to strengthen this plan in cooperation with the countries of the region and use their views and can implement the plan.
Zarif said: "We also discussed our position on Palestine and the Deal of the Century and that the US move is very dangerous. The Europeans and Mr. Borrell also expressed their positions and their differences with the United States."
The FM said that the US has lost any opportunity to participate in the process of solving Palestinian conflict by presenting the plan and has shown that it even has left behind the Zionist regime in the matter of Palestine, disregarding the Palestinian rights and usurping the Palestinian land. America has no place in the matter and it is only the Palestinian people who determine their future.
He said: "The Leader's proposal for a referendum in Palestine seemed to us to be the most sensible, credible and viable solution that could work in Palestine, even if it worked elsewhere."
