TEHRAN Irans Vice President for Strategic Affairs, Mohammad Javad Zarif, delivered a strong message concerning Irans regional position and security throughout an event in Tehran on Monday.Zarif mentioned that Iran has actually reached a point of strength where it is no longer susceptible to foreign attacks, referencing a shift away from what he described a hit-and-run policy of the past.
Iran today, after 220 years, has reached a position where neither the United States, nor Israel, nor any other entity can even consider assaulting Iran and getting away with it, Zarif stated.
He stressed that the era of hit-and-run, where opponents could attack without facing major consequences, is over.
Iran was caught in the hit-and-run policy for 170 years But today, this era has actually come to an end.
Zarif acknowledged that risks still exist, however specified that the consistent worry associated with them is no longer a truth.
He emphasized that Iran is no longer in a position of weak point and constant concern over foreign attacks.Addressing the problem of regional Resistance versus Israeli colonialism, Zarif asserted that Islamic Resistance motions were formed due to occupation, not Iranian influence or weapons.
He noted that these movements emerged when Israel was at the peak of its power, driven by a message of self-belief, instead of Iranian military may.
What produced Resistance was profession, not Iran, Zarif stressed, adding that It is individuals of Lebanon and Palestine who are fighting for their rights.
He stated Israel is trying to mischaracterize the Palestinian issue as a dispute between Iran and Israel, instead of acknowledging the core concern of occupation.Zarif likewise commented on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), highlighting that Israel opposed the agreement since it dismantled the security narrative that Israel had actually developed around Iran.
Israel opposed the JCPOA ...
since the JCPOA dismantled the security story that Israel had actually built around Iran.
This was thought about a risk to Israel because the game was not a security video game, Zarif said.Furthermore, he argued that if Israel was really worried about Irans nuclear program, it must have supported the JCPOA, which he noted, would at least hold-up Irans nuclear program for 15 years.
Zarif added that claims made in 2014 and 2015 that Iran was close to establishing nuclear weapons must have made those making the claims feel secure once the JCPOA postponed the program.The official made the remarks during an event with journalists, scholars, and experts who had checked out the Iranian Office for Strategic Affairs to release the preliminary of month-to-month talks on local and worldwide problems.
