Iran Press/Iran news: Esmaeil Baghaei, Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman in reaction to the US National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan's hostile remarks against Iran nuclear facilities, stated: "This issue from legal perspective is a threat of resorting to force and is a violation of the United Nations Charter."
"The threat against Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities is considered a threat to international peace and security, and the Security Council must address these matters and hold the US government accountable," He said.
Baghaei added: US Democratic government which many Americans consider the most failed state in US history is attempting to dictate its failed methods to the next U.S. administration.
Iran is prepared for dignified and honorable negotiations to lift sanctions
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman on "direct negotiation with the US" reminded Iran's top diplomat remarks and said: As Iran's Foreign Minister clearly stated our latest position, we are ready for dignified and honorable negotiations to lift sanctions and address the concerns of the opposing parties regarding the nature of the nuclear program. This is our firm stance. How this is carried out should be decided based on all aspects and the approach of the opposing parties.
An Update for Strategic Agreement with Russia
Baghaei pointed out the details of the Iran-Russia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty and said that the document is an update of the cooperation agreement that was signed by the two countries in the late 1990s.
The document needed updating partly due to the expansion of ties between Tehran and Moscow over the past three decades, Baghaei said adding "This is a bilateral document aimed at strengthening the relations between Iran and Russia."
Iran Protests to Construction of Dams in Afghanistan
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman about the construction of dams in Afghanistan said that the issue has been on Iran’s agenda since Afghanistan began planning for its projects, and Tehran has formally lodged its protests.
Baghaei said: "Waters flowing from Afghanistan to Iran over thousands or millions of years create rights for both parties on the two sides of the border. Iran has specific documents and agreements concerning some cases".
Iran expects Afghan officials to take this matter seriously, and Iran uses all available means to restore its rights in this respect, Iranian FM spokesman stressed.
