TEHRAN, Jul 12 (NNN-FNA) – An Iranian Jewish lawmaker, said yesterday that, the United States constantly pursues a project of spreading Iranophobia, as a way to sell its weapons and make more profits.
Ever since the victory of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, the United States has been carrying out this project, particularly at the regional level, said Homayoun Sameyah Najafabadi.
The lawmaker said, the U.S. is trying to poison the atmosphere surrounding Iran’s nuclear programme, in a bid to spread Iranophobia in a new form and safeguard its economic interests.
He stressed that, Iran has always proven that, it favours dialogue and interaction, while the United States has failed to honour its commitment on numerous occasions.
Iran signed a nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), with world powers in Jul, 2015, agreeing to curb its nuclear programme, in return for the removal of sanctions on the country. However, in May, 2018, former U.S. President, Donald Trump, unilaterally took his country out of the JCPOA and reimposed Washington’s sanctions on Tehran.
The negotiations to revive the JCPOA initially began in Apr, 2021, in Vienna, but were suspended in March this year because of political differences between Tehran and Washington.
After a three-month pause, the talks resumed recently in the Qatari capital of Doha, but the talks failed to achieve an agreement to settle the remaining differences.
