Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has emphasized that commitment to promises is the first step towards meaningful talks with the United States. He stated that the historical distrust between the two nations poses a major obstacle in the path of negotiations. In his statement, Raisi said that the contradictory and non-constructive signals from the American side convey a bitter message. He believes that the US wants Iran to surrender its arms, but Iran will not bow down to power and that the commitment to promises is the only logic that justifies any form of dialogue.
Raisi said that Iran has clearly stated that it will not compromise on its sovereignty and national interests, and that it will not be deterred by any form of pressure or coercion. This comes after Raisi met with government officials in Tehran, where he said that the US-Iran conflict should be resolved as soon as possible so that Iran can focus on rebuilding its country. He also emphasized the need for a diplomatic solution to end the tensions.
Raisi further stated that Iranian citizens should be informed about the facts, and that false information or unrealistic promises can not only hinder the solution to problems but also damage public trust. He emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in government.
