Masoud Pezeshkian, a member of parliament and a well-known political figure in the country, analyzed the current state of Iran-U.S. relations in an interview with India Today on the sidelines of the BRICS summit. He stated that America's main goal in Iran is to "divide and rule," emphasizing the need for unity against these policies.
Pezeshkian's analysis of Iran-UAE relations
Pezeshkian clearly stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran has no issues with the United Arab Emirates and that the relations between the two countries should be expanded in line with mutual interests. These remarks come at a time when some media outlets are analyzing Iran's relations with the Gulf countries and attempting to present a negative image of these relations.
He also referred to the events of January 7 and 8, attributing the main blame for these incidents to the U.S. Pezeshkian said: "The recent events were a result of U.S. interference in Iran's internal affairs, and this country is always trying to advance its goals through creating insecurity and divisiveness."
Given the significance of these statements, there have been many reactions in the virtual and political space of the country. Some analysts believe that Pezeshkian's remarks could indicate a change in Iran's foreign policy approach and create hopes for strengthening relations with neighbors.
Ultimately, at this summit, Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized the necessity of solidarity and cooperation among BRICS countries and regional countries, stating: "We must unite and not allow outsiders to interfere in our internal affairs."
