After the election of the new chairman of the Assembly of Experts at the 17th meeting of the body held here on Tuesday, Mohammad Javad Zarif briefed the participants on the latest developments in nuclear negotiations.
While expressing gratitude for the Leader’s continued support of the negotiating team, Zarif referred to the open letter of 47 US Senators to Iranian leaders on the cancellation of the nuclear agreement at the end of President Obama’s administration and said, “this correspondence which is unprecedented and undiplomatic only reveals to us that the United States is untrustworthy.”
“Whether the negotiations come to fruition or not, we will be the side that has triumphed. Since what we have achieved during these years are dignity and self-esteem, an asset that cannot be reclaimed and the Americans and the Western world are fully aware of this fact,” said Zarif.
He also noted that during the past several months, Iran’s constructive diplomacy has been able to partially improve the outlook of the negotiating side toward the Islamic Republic; “although negotiating with the Americans is facing a number of issues due to the presence of hardliners in the US Congress, we will make every effort to bring the talks to a desirable conclusion,” said Zarif.
