Iran Press/ Iran news: In an interview with the Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar about the Biden administration's views on the nuclear deal, former Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan said, "Geopolitics has changed. The United States wants a stronger agreement than the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Why did he and his associates support the JCPOA when Trump was at the office but now they have changed their minds!?"
"I believe that Americans do not have the power to decide; Because they have obligations to the Zionists and the Arabs and want to satisfy them at any cost," the Brig. Gen. Dehgan said. "Trump's insane decisions have complicated the issue, now Biden must show that the president is powerful and decisive, and by returning to the JCPOA he can prove that the White House is ruled by rationality," he added.
"Americans still think they are the lord of the world and have the right not to enforce international resolutions. The Security Council resolution is a guarantee in itself. Americans have Alzheimer's and have not got the world has changed. They must pay the price for the violation of the treaty and compensate. The United States wants Iran to return to its commitments first and then bring Iran back to the negotiating table when Iran has no power. We should not disarm ourselves and return to negotiations in this way," the former minister said.
Regarding the normalization of relations between Tehran and Washington, Dehghan said: "We are far from normalizing relations between the two countries. The Americans have to compensate for the damages that they have done to the Iranian people. The damages are not only financial but also include compensation for past damages and crimes against our country."
Regarding his message to countries in the region, such as Saudi Arabia, he said: "History proves that Iran has not attacked any country in recent centuries. We also do not embrace the puppet governments in neighboring countries and consider the stability, progress, and development of the countries in the region as our security. We believe that trans-regional forces are the cause of disruption in relations with neighboring countries. Evacuating the region from foreign forces is a base to the neighborhood, cooperation, and interaction."
If Saudi Arabia acts independently from the Zionists and the Americans, we will not have a problem with them. Saudi Arabia must understand that Iran is its best partner in the region. In fact, if Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt come together, the Islamic world can unite to secure its interests without the need for another country.
Stating on the recent explosion on an Israeli ship in the Oman Sea, he said: "Israel does not have security even inside the occupied territories today, so it is trying to create security for itself in the countries of the region, but certainly due to its size and financial capacity it is impossible.
