“It was the Americans who exit from the agreement on the one hand, led to the Europeans’ incompetence in remaining faithful to their commitments, which is why Iran’s demand for trustworthy guarantees is quite legitimate,” said President Raisi in his meeting with the European Council President Charles Michel.
The president of the Islamic Republic of Iran in a meeting with Charles Michel at the hotel where he resides referred to Iran’s proposals for resolving the nuclear issue, as well as the crises in Palestine, Afghanistan, Yemen and Ukraine.
“The efforts for naturalizing relations between some regional countries with the Zionist regime cannot create security for that regime,” he added.
The president said that imposing sanctions against countries is among the inhumane acts and breach of the articles of the human rights charter, including the unilateral US sanctions against 80 million Iranians, which is obvious violation of the human right.
Back to the nuclear negotiations, President Raisi said that resolving the treaties issue with the IAEA is one of the prerequisites for reaching a nuclear agreement, since if those issues will remain unresolved, who can guarantee that on the day after reaching an agreement, the US trio will not request the issuance of a new resolution against Iran?
Raisi said that the sanctions against Iran have not halted Iran’s activities in different fields, as the Iranians continue their progress ahead mightily.
On resolving the Palestinians’ problems, the president referred to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s proposal on holding a referendum in which the entire original residents of Palestine will be able to vote
“Just as the different peace initiatives, such as the Camp David, the Sharm al-Sheikh and Oslo peace talks could not materialize Palestinians’ rights, the efforts aimed at naturalizing full relations of some countries with the Zionist regime, too, will no provide security for that regime, as there is only one justice-based, logical and comprehensive way towards peace, and that is respecting the Palestinians' rights,” he said.
On logical way to resolve the problems in Afghanistan, too, President Raisi said that contributing to the shape taking of an all-encompassing government, inclusive of the entire tribal and ethnic groups there is the solution there.
About Yemen, Raisi said that the siege of the Yemeni nation must end and the attacks against that country must end, as a beginning for Yemeni-Yemini peace talks.
President of the EU Council Charles Michel, for his part, in the meeting appreciated the opportunity to have a person-to-person talk with the president of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“My phone talk with your good self was inspiring for the EU in efforts aimed at opening a window toward dialogue on Afghanistan,” he said.
President Michel said he agreed with the Iranian president that the human rights issue should not be used as a political lever.
“The EU has always tries to bring closer the views for revival of the JCPOA, and in that line the issue of the anti-Iranian sanctions that has always been a serious worry for the Islamic Republic of Iran, has been concerned by the EU,” he said.
The top EU politician, meanwhile, expressed hope that the military engagements in Yemen will end, and peace talks there, including the establishment of a new government will lead to restoration of peace.
On restoration of stability in Iraq, peace in Palestine, and end of war in Ukraine, and establishment of an all-encompassing government in Afghanistan, Charles Michel said, “The EU hopes to benefit from the contributions of the Islamic Republic of Iran in all those respects.”
