Blinken: There is a prospect of negotiations with Iran

According to Isna, US Foreign Minister Anthony Blinken said in his interventionist remarks that Iran should focus on itself and stop getting involved in regional issues.

Speaking at the think tank of the Council on Foreign Relations on Wednesday, he also claimed that the Zionist regime succeeded in damaging Tehran’s allies, Hezbollah and Hamas, as well as Iran’s own military capabilities in a direct attack in October.

Blinken continued: Undoubtedly, this year has not been a good year for Iran, and we are witnessing its continuation every day.

The senior American diplomat claimed that “Iran must make fundamental choices” now.

Without referring to Washington’s overt and hidden interference in the West Asian region, which has always led to unrest and war in the countries of the region, he said: One choice he can have and should make is to focus on himself and on his efforts. Focus on building a better and more successful country that benefits its people and stop getting involved in these adventures or problems across the region.

In his statement on Wednesday, the US Secretary of State once again defended the Zionist regime, saying that Israel continues its attacks against Gaza, which has killed more than 45,000 Palestinians so far. After the removal of Bashar al-Assad, the president of Syria, the Zionists have increased their expansion and occupation in Syria with plans to increase settlements in this country.

In another part of his speech, he addressed the issue of Iran’s nuclear program and based on Washington’s false and repeated claims, he said that Iran’s attempt to obtain a nuclear bomb is not inevitable.

“That’s something that can be questioned more now because they’re missing a lot of tools,” Blinken claimed. They have lost various lines of defense. Sure, you’ll find yourself thinking about it more, but the costs and consequences of going down that path, in my opinion, would be severe.

Anthony Blinken went on to praise the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which saw Iran curtail its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions. But US President-elect Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the White House in 2018.

Emphasizing that “diplomacy with Iran is still possible”, the US Secretary of State tried to throw the ball in Iran’s court and said that there is a prospect of negotiations. Of course, this depends on what Iran does and whether it chooses to engage.

He added: And of course, the future (US) government must decide. President Trump last said he wanted a better and stronger deal when he pulled out of the deal. So let’s see what happens. I think that would be a better way to approach it.

Continuing his claims, Blinken said: Regardless of which American party is in power, Washington will always be committed to ensuring that Iran does not get nuclear weapons.

In addition, in response to a question about the possibility of the United States supporting the opposition groups of the Islamic Republic of Iran to overthrow the government in Tehran, the American foreign minister called for caution in this regard.

“I think if we look back over the last 20 years, our experiments in regime change haven’t exactly been successful,” he said. Therefore, I believe that we should have the appropriate humility in focusing on a problem.
