Iran urges vigilance to foil US divisive policies, plots in Middle East
[PRESSTV] Iran has dismissed as unfounded recent allegations made by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo against the Islamic Theocratic Republic, urging all regional countries to heighten their vigilance in the face of the "divisive ...politicians call things divisivewhen when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive,they're principled... policies and plots" of American officials. "The US, and in particular its current bully boy regime, due to [its] old hostility toward the land of the Medes and the Persians and opposition to all the previous [US] government's measures... is following a path which cannot be expected to bear any benefit for the US," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Friday. Speaking at the American University in the Egyptian capital of Cairo on Thursday, Pompeo claimed that Iran is a "common enemy" of the US and other countries in the region. "President Trump has reversed our willful blindness to the danger of the [Iranian] regime and withdrew from the failed nuclear deal, with its false promises," he added. The US state secretary said that his country was working to reverse Iran's regional influence. In reaction to Pompeo's claims, Qassemi said the current US administration is desperate and angry because it cannot find a replacement for a "comprehensive and legitimate" nuclear agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), it has scrapped unilaterally. US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... withdrew his country in May from the landmark Iran nuclear deal and decided to re-impose unilateral sanctions against Tehran. He has described the JCPOA, which was negotiated under his predecessor Barack Obama If you like your coverage you can keep it... , as "the worst and most one-sided transaction Washington has ever entered into." Under the deal, reached between Iran and six major powers - the United States, Britannia, La Belle France, Germany, Russia and China - Tehran agreed to put limits on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions.
