Iran's Ambassador to Pakistan Mohammad Ali Hosseini rules out any talks with the US due to ongoing economic and state terrorism against the brave nation of Iran. Mohammad Ali Hosseini made the remarks as a keynote speaker at seminar on "41st Anniversary of victory of Islamic Revolution and Iran-Pakistan relations", organised by Islamabad Strategic Studies Institute (ISSI).
The Iranian ambassador along with Director General ISSI and senior diplomat Aizaz Chaudhry, on the occasion highlighted Iran-Pakistan ties, regional and global cooperation between the two states and regional developments.
Hosseini replying to a question categorically said that Iran has no plans to talk to the US right now. "The US is committing economic terrorism against Iran and imposing strongest pressures against us," he said. The ambassador noted the US has also threatened to target Iran's cultural sites, which is in fact a cultural terrorism. "Recently, the US committed a crime by assassinating our visionary commander, Lieutenant General Qassem Suleiman so there are no grounds for talks with them," added the diplomat.
Hosseini to a question said that Iran has always proved its commitment towards the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the reports of the IAEA and the EU have confirmed adherence of the Islamic Republic towards the agreement, IRNA reported Wednesday.
He said that the US first withdrew from the agreement and now has been trying to spoil the deal. "The envoy said that stance of the European partners of the agreement is not clear while Russia and China have tried to respect the agreement, however Iran is still the part of the JCPOA," said the envoy.
He said Iran has not taken any decision to withdraw from the agreement but all parties should respect to that deal as one country cannot adhere to an agreement without getting its rights.
The ambassador added Iran has always stressed on regional cooperation and that is why we presented Hormuz Peace Endeavor (HOPE) which would ensure regional peace and stability. He said Iran believes in peaceful co-existence of the regional states. He noted Iran, Russia, China and Turkey can form a block for peace and stability in the region.
Director General ISSI Aizaz Chaudhry said HOPE peace endeavour of Iran is positive and constructive measure for the Strait of Hormuz. "We have to find common grounds like HOPE," viewed the international relations expert.
Replying to a question Mohammad Ali Hosseini said Iran is not limited to any one country in its regional projects. "We have invited all countries to participate in Chabahar project and participation of India in the project is not to limit participation of other countries in the project," he noted.
