Tehran-Sana
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh stressed that the repeated US attacks on the Syrian-Iraqi border area target the main elements in the fight against terrorism and serve and strengthen the remnants of the terrorist organization "ISIS".
In an interview with reporters today, Khatibzadeh said, "Iran always stresses that the language of force and threat will not serve security and stability in the region... and the United States must realize that it will not achieve its goals in the region through arrogance and bullying."
In another context, Khatibzadeh explained that the Vienna talks witnessed progress with the agreement of all parties, pointing out that the remaining important issues need a decision from the other parties, especially America.
Khatibzadeh indicated that Iran's negotiating team strives to bring the negotiations to a conclusion that will lead to the lifting of the unjust ban on the Iranian people, pointing out that Iran will not set a time limit, but rather that its goal is to reach an agreement that achieves the interests of the people and the country, and from here it will continue the dialogue until the required agreement is reached.
He stressed that Iran's position on the nuclear agreement and lifting the embargo is one of the principle positions, and therefore these positions will not change by changing the government and will abide by the agreement if it is signed.
On the other hand, Khatibzadeh affirmed Iran’s rejection of the Zionist entity’s attempts to obtain membership in the African Union as an observer, calling on the member states of the Union to affirm their political will to commit to supporting the Palestinian cause and to adhere to the decisions of international organizations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation regarding opposing any measure granting membership or positions to the Zionist entity in organizations international and regional.
