Tehran (ISNA) – Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Saeed Khatibzadeh stressed, “Tehran’s message to Washington is clear: Rejoin the international community, comply with your commitments and stop being defiant and recalcitrant. In that case, the international community will accept you”.
Speaking in a weekly press conference on Sunday, Saeed Khatibzadeh said, “US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who has been a major advocate of the reimposition of sanctions on Iran, lives in a fantasy world”.
“Pompeo’s dream world will not have any more security than the real world, either. Since the day Pompeo decided to enter his world of deception, lies and hatred, he brought insecurity to his own dream world as well,” he added.
“Washington’s claim that international sanctions against Iran are back in force as of September 20 is baseless and ineffective,” the spokesman went on to say.
“The three European countries that are definite allies of America have issued a statement, saying that the US has no right to use JCPOA provisions and that its measures will have no effect. America knows its claim is empty, unreal, and ineffective,” Khatibzadeh said.
He emphasized that whatever Washington does only foments insecurity in the world.
“The United States’ actions have only brought insecurity, war, violence and bloodshed to the world,” said Khatibzadeh.
“The evil heritage of years of US presence in different parts of the world, especially, the West Asia region, from oppressed Afghanistan to oppressed Palestine, has been nothing but a failed and destructive heritage for the people in the region,” he added.
“What the US is seeking is yet another instance of bullying, which will be added to the list of Washington’s acts of bullying. It’s much ado about nothing,” he noted.
He noted that the US is seeing tough days at the moment. “I believe the US is passing through its most bitter days and hours. The United States itself chose to stand on the wrong side of history. The US has forgotten its responsibilities.”
The spokesman urged the US to make good on its obligations and return to the world community.
“Tehran’s message to Washington is clear: Rejoin the international community, comply with your commitments and stop being defiant and recalcitrant. In that case, the international community will accept you,” he said.
He said the US isolation in the Security Council shows how hollow is Washington’s power. “It must have now received the world’s message: World is changing and the first victim is the US itself, thanks to Trump and associates’ short-sighted policies.”
“Allied, independent and free powers like Iran are emerging in world,” he added.
Khatibzade also stressed, "The regime in the White House has no option just to respect the international regulations and norms, to stop terrorizing the world and the illegal and criminal actions- the economic terrorism and its unilateral and extraterritorial sanction- against the great nation and people of Iran,and more importantly to compensate all the damages caused".
Elsewhere in his remarks, Khatibzadeh announced that Iranian Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif and President Hassan Rouhani will make speeches in the 75th United Nations General Assembly respectively on Monday and Tuesday, which is to be held online.
Reviewing the current developments in international arena will be among the main topics addressed during the speeches.
