Iran accuses USA of arming ‘dangerous terrorists’, spreading ‘Iranophobia’
Speaking after meeting Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, Mr Trump said the U.S. and Israel faced “common threats – from [IS] and other terrorist groups, to countries like Iran that sponsor terrorism and fund and foment bad violence”.
But Iran’s Press TV wrote on Sunday that the aggression coming from Riyadh this weekend ultimately reflected the Saudis’ realisation that they are losing in conflicts across the Middle East.
He described the Iranian nuclear deal as a significant deal for the regional and worldwide security, emphasizing that all sides, involved in the Iranian deal, should support the accord for economic development and closer cooperation with Iran.
‘America’s dream on ending Iran’s missile programme will never come true’.
Now, to dig in on what this moment could mean for the USA and Iran, we’re joined by Vali Nasr.
He was referring to a $110 billion military deal Trump clinched with Saudi Arabia during the US President’s first foreign trip since he took office, one of the biggest arms sales in history.
Trump called on Iran to cease its support of “terrorists and militias”. In his recent speech, he referred to the new US president as the “real face” of American corruption.
They achieved a relative success in nuclear talks, where they “negotiated with respect” with the representatives of the Iranian people, Rouhani added. So Rouhani is not just the “moderate” president, he is also the president of economic recovery. “South Africa has also stood with Iran in the face of unilaterally imposed sanctions”, said the department. The U.S. has re-upped parts of the sanctions relief program for Iran.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was signed in July 2015 by the Obama administration.
While he did not give the specific names of terrorists or groups that Washington has helped, it is likely that he was referring to groups in Syria opposed to President Bashar al-Assad, as well as the grievances created throughout the region by United States airstrikes, which many point to as a recruiting sergeant for terrorist groups. It will also put a cap on the level of enriched uranium under 3.67 percent for at least 15 years.
At the same time, the USA imposed new sanctions on Iran’s ballistic missile program and said it was continuing to review Iran’s adherence to the 2015 nuclear accord.
Iran recently test-fired two new domestically-made missiles one of which was a long-range ballistic missile. It led to relief from global economic sanctions in return for curbs on the country’s nuclear program. How does Trump’s rhetoric match the reality of the administration’s policy?
The main focus this week is the Presidential elections results in Iran and the upcoming OPEC meeting on Thursday. “Those who fund terrorists can not claim they are fighting against them”, he said.
