Iran will seek to ''manage tensions'' with US: FM Abbas Araqchi
2024-08-25
[GEOTV] Iran's new government will seek to "manage tensions" with its arch-enemy the United States to help reduce pressure and neutralise crippling sanctions, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said.
That’s nice. How well do you think that’ll work if Donald Trump is elected?
"What we have to do is manage the tensions and hostilities" between Tehran and Washington, he said in an interview late Friday on state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and the United States have had no diplomatic relations since 1980, the year after the Islamic revolution that toppled its Western-backed Shah Mohammed Reza.

A landmark 2015 deal between Tehran and world powers granted Iran sanctions relief in return for curbs on its nuclear programme.

But the deal quickly collapsed and tensions reignited following the United States' unilateral withdrawal from the accord in 2018.

"In foreign policy, we have a duty to reduce as much as possible the cost of this hostility and reduce its pressure on the nation," said Araqchi, who was one of the key negotiators of the 2015 agreement.

He added that Iran's foreign policy will prioritise "neighbouring countries" as well as African countries, along with China and Russia, among others.

Araqchi criticised European countries for having "adopted hostile policies" towards Iran in recent years.

He said they would only "become a priority" when they "abandon their wrong and hostile policies".
