Ayatollah Heydari said that the JCPOA has brought almost no achievements for Iran, said, “It’s clear to everyone today that we can no longer solve any of the problems of the country through the JCPOA and by looking toward the West.” RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Ayatollah Mohsen Heydari, the representative of the people of Khuzestan province in the Assembly of Experts, said that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) has brought almost no achievements for Iran, said, “It’s clear to everyone today that we can no longer solve any of the problems of the country through the JCPOA and by looking toward the West.”
The Iranian scholar pointed to the disloyalty of the Europeans and Americans and noted the brazen departure of the United States from the JCPOA, saying, “Today, everyone knows that the Europeans have given only slogans and have no practical action to deliver on the promises that they have given.”
He said that it’s a wonder that anyone can say that Iran can solve its problems through the JCPOA and added, “The only way to solve the problems of the country is to implement the Resistance Economy, pay attention to internal capacities and to use specialized human resources.”
Ayatollah Heydari described the disloyalty of the United States as a result of the misplaced distrust of certain officials in the West and noted, “As it has been demonstrated in issues such as scientific advances and the missile industry, the power of the Iranian human resources is very high. This capacity exists in all areas and must be taken advantage of.”
His Eminence insisted that officials must not keep the country waiting on the JCPOA any longer and considered the outcome of the wrong strategy of negotiating and trusting in the West as “regretful” and stated, “If the country’s officials had sought to implement the strategy of the Resistance Economy as emphasized by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] from the beginning and hadn’t followed the mirage created by the United States, we wouldn’t have faced as many problems today.”
He said that diplomacy of negotiation didn’t have any positive consequences for the Iranian people and said, “We all know that the JCPOA brought no benefit to the country at all, so what is the guarantee that repeating it will bring anu result for the country?”
Stressing that the United States seeks to disarm the Islamic Republic through negotiations, Ayatollah Heydari said, “The United States wants to weaken Iran’s defence and missile industries through negotiations so that it can easily dominate over it. The United States has an arrogant nature and seeks nothing else but to humiliate the nations through negotiations.”
