RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Hujjat al-Islam Askar Dirbaz, the representative of the people of West Azerbaijan province in the Assembly of Experts, referred to the demands of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, in relation to the benefits of endurance against bullying of the United States, saying, “Just as the Supreme Leader said, the cost of negotiations with the United States is greater than the cost of endurance with the United States.”
The head of the University of Qom said that, based on the many witnesses and examples that exist in the world, negotiating with the United States will not have any benefit to Iran and noted, “The Islamic Republic of Iran has strong infrastructure and for this reason, all of the problems facing the country can be overcome by relying on the internal abilities and aptitudes.”
He said, “The American rulers have no other attributes except arrogance, oppression and looting. If we look at history, we will see that dozens of cases of rape and the plunder of the property of countries around the world lies in the hands of these rulers.”
Hujjat al-Islam Dirbaz stated, “Unfortunately, some people assume, with the influence of the propaganda and media of the enemies, such as satellite channels and social networks, that negotiating with American officials is in the best interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while such thinking isn’t correct.”
His Eminence added, “On the one hand, we have the experience of the countries which have entered into negotiations with the United States, on the other hand, the experience and analysis of the wise people in society, of which the Supreme Leader is at the head of, explain that negotiating with the United States, in addition to not reducing the country’s problems, but rather, there won’t be any outcome for the country except for shame, humiliation and abasement.”
He emphasized that the noble nation of Iran must be vigilant against the conspiracies of the enemies of the Islamic system of governance, said, “In the current situation where the aggression of the enemies has intensified, the Supreme Leader is the only one whose views must be considered and given public attention.”
Hujjat al-Islam Dirbaz said, “After the victory of the Islamic Republic of Iran against the tyrannous monarchical [Pahlavi] regime, Iran was always invaded by the enemies of the Islamic system and of Islam but with the leadership and the guidance of Wilayat al-Faqih [Guardianship of the Jurisprudent], we have managed to thwart all the conspiracies of the enemies to this day.”
In conclusion, the representative of the people of West Azerbaijan province in the Assembly of Experts pointed out that the most important factor in creating economic and livelihood pressures on the society is based on the weakness or mismanagement of the officials and added, “When some of the high ranking officials in the country’s economic system face economic crimes, it’s natural that the negative works of this will be manifest in society.”
In defiance of warnings from the European Union, the JCPOA signatories and many international players, American President Donald Trump signed an executive order on August 6 re-imposing a first round of sanctions on Iran, which were lifted under the nuclear deal, to levy “maximum economic pressure” on the Islamic Republic.
