Can Biden Be Trusted?
When Joe Biden was elected as the U.S. President in a controversial presidential election in 2016, many pro-West politicians in Iran claimed that it is the best time for direct talks with the U.S. Administration because Biden is a moderate president and Iran can make a deal with him but Supreme Leader Seyed Ali Khamenei warned Iranians over trusting the West and any U.S. President and he cast doubt on Biden and despite the flexible approach in Vienna talks, Biden revealed his true nature as the U.S. President on Thursday he extended a national emergency against Iran for another year, in yet another act of bad faith as diplomats are engaged in the final stages of talks in Vienna.

TEHRAN (Iran News) – When Joe Biden was elected as the U.S. President in a controversial presidential election in 2016, many pro-West politicians in Iran claimed that it is the best time for direct talks with the U.S. Administration because Biden is a moderate president and Iran can make a deal with him but Supreme Leader Seyed Ali Khamenei warned Iranians over trusting the West and any U.S. President and he cast doubt on Biden and despite the flexible approach in Vienna talks, Biden revealed his true nature as the U.S. President on Thursday he extended a national emergency against Iran for another year, in yet another act of bad faith as diplomats are engaged in the final stages of talks in Vienna.

In a statement on Thursday, Biden said the national emergency declared by former president Bill Clinton on March 15, 1995, must continue in effect beyond March 15, 2022.

The actions and policies of the Government of Iran continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, the statement read.

“Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to Iran declared in Executive Order 12957,” it added.

Earlier, the European Union’s deputy foreign policy chief, Enrique Mora, who coordinates the Vienna talks, tweeted that “we are at the final stages of the Vienna Talks on JCPOA.”

In recent days, diplomats participating in the eighth round of negotiations in the Austrian capital have said that “a deal is within reach” provided that the remaining, narrowed-down issues are resolved.

What Biden did shows this point that the U.S. presidents either Democrat or Republican cannot be trusted and they just differ in forms  and they have no major difference in content which is arrogance regarding other states.

Biden with extending national emergency revealed his true nature that he does not do a favor regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran in Vienna talks and what the West is doing in Vienna is just because of Iran’s power which has forced Biden and his colleagues to give in Iran’s demands.

As the Supreme Leader has repeatedly emphasized, the U.S. cannot be trusted and the country is a wolf in disguise which tears apart any country which is weak or shows weakness.

Fortunately the current government in Iran and the negotiating team is determined to end the talks with defending full rights of the nation and they will not bow down to pressures like what Iran’s former reformist president and negotiating team did in 2015.

In recent days Western negotiating teams in Vienna talks have tried to increase the pressure on their Iranian counterparts by resorting to different claims. On Monday, U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price threatened that Washington is prepared to “walk away” if Iran displays “intransigence to making progress.”

Iran has maintained that if the Vienna talks do not lead to an agreement, the U.S. and its three major European allies are to blame due to their failure to guarantee their strict adherence to the JCPOA.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian also said the Western side’s hurriedness to reach an agreement via the Vienna negotiations will not make Tehran turn a blind eye to its red lines.

Amir-Abdollahian made the remarks in a phone call with European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Friday, referring to the diplomatic efforts to revive the 2015 Iran deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

“We are ready to immediately finalize a good agreement,” he said. “But the Western side’s rush and haste cannot prevent Iran’s red lines from being observed.”

The problem for reaching an agreement lies in the West’s arrogant attitude towards Iran and as long as this attitude exists, there will be no agreement between Iran and the JCPOA signatories because Iran will never accept any bully from any country and bully will lead to duly and strong response to those who resort to bully.

So Biden and his allies are better to forget the current arrogant approach towards Iran because they are too weak to stop Iran as they have shown their weakness regarding Ukraine crisis. If Biden wants to reach a deal with Tehran in the JCPOA, he is better to put aside his hostile approach because hostility brings hostility and he is better to quit former U.S. President Donald Trump’s path of creating chaos in the international relations.

The Islamic Republic of Iran since its establishment in 1979 has proved that it is not a country which can be brought to its knees by bully and arrogance of any country, especially world arrogance and the West is better to put aside hostility against Iran and stretch friendship hands towards Iran which will benefit all parties.
