Response to Trump's Remarks
The Trump administration, in recent years, has repeatedly made provocative statements through its former president with aggressive policies against Iran. Zarif smiled as he pointed out that Trump's threats have not only had no impact on Iran's determination to progress but have, on the contrary, made Iran more resolute. He emphasized that "Iran is a country that takes pride in its history, and no one can undermine its will."
Meanwhile, Pazooki also mentioned in his remarks that diplomacy should be based on respect and trust, and threats only increase tensions. Zarif, stressing these concepts, called for a reconsideration of aggressive policies and a shift towards constructive dialogue.
The Future of Diplomacy in Iran
Zarif concluded by referring to Iran's historical background and its role in regional peace and stability, emphasizing that Iran has always sought peaceful ways to resolve crises and will continue to do so. He warned the international community that threats and insulting remarks cannot help solve problems and only increase tensions. In this regard, he urged other countries to turn to dialogue and cooperation instead of threats.
Ultimately, the Iranian Foreign Minister reiterated his country's readiness to engage with all nations, emphasizing that "successful diplomacy requires mutual respect and trust" and that Iran will always seek constructive and positive relations with other countries.
