Rasa – Hujjat al-Islam Ali Eslami said that negotiating with the United States has no consequence except loss for Iran and added, “Due to the obvious disloyalty of the United States, there is no longer a place to negotiate with them.” RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Hujjat al-Islam Ali Eslami, the representative of the people of Qazvin in the Assembly of Experts, referred the unreliability of the United States and said, “In treaties and transactions, we cannot accept the promises of the other party without the principle of ‘trust.’”
The Iranian cleric and politician continued, “Throughout history, every time we have compromised with the United States and have acted in regard to their demands, we have met with betrayal and non-compliance in regard to treaties. Therefore, we must learn from all of our past experiences and never pursue the United States.”
Stating that negotiating with the United States has no consequence except loss for Iran, he said, “Due to the obvious disloyalty of the United States, there is no longer a place to negotiate with them. Today everyone knows that the United States isn’t trustworthy and committed to its obligations.”
Hujjat al-Islam Eslami said that the United States didn’t even have mercy on Mohammad Mossadegh, the former prime minister of Iran from 1951 until 1953, and added, “The August 19, 1953 coup d’état [Operation Ajax] appeared to have ended in the name of the United Kingdom but it was the United States that, through its betrayal and stabbing Mossadegh in the back, they defeated him and his popular government.”
His Eminence emphasized that we don’t have any confidence in the United States under any circumstances and stressed, “Our past experiences are indicative of the disloyalty of the United States and thus, we are obligated to not have the slightest desire and inclination toward them in accordance with the verses of the Holy Quran. The United States isn’t trustworthy and is always seeking to deceive us.”
He emphasized that the Islamic Republic has no need to negotiate with the United States and noted, “Does the United States give us facilities? If the United States speaks truthfully, they will deliver the passenger aircraft parts that we had brought for decades to us. The United States stops our aircraft in a oppressive and usurping manner and claims to put them in storage. In this regard, how can the United States benefit this country?”
Hujjat al-Islam Eslami emphasized, “How can we reconcile with the Americans while every day they seek to create terror and make the borders of the country insecure and in addition to threatening the Iranian people, they provoke the enemies of the country? The United States won’t benefit us in any way and thus, some officials must not insist on negotiating and compromising with the United States. I wonder why some think that the United States will benefit us!”
