TEHRAN (Iran News) – We Muslims believe that end does not justify the means and it means we are not ready to attain our goals by resorting to any action against our principles as Muslim, and regarding the nuclear talks and the revival of the JCPOA this principle will be observed by our negotiating team.

In recent weeks Iran’s negotiating team has been under pressure and criticism of the Western countries and even some pro-Western politicians or analysts inside the country as they have tried to blame the negotiating team for prolongation of the JCPOA talks or even the failure of the talks while the main culprit of this prolongation, namely the U.S., has been ignored.

On Thursday and reacting to such baseless claims, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani said the Islamic Republic will not allow the Israeli regime to promulgate anti-Tehran ideologies and accord legitimacy to its Iranophobia campaign.

Bagheri Kani made the remarks in a meeting of the Academic Association of Islamic Iran at the University of Tehran in the capital on Thursday, during which the senior diplomat expounded on the strategic features of the country’s foreign policy apparatus in the current Iranian administration.

The Iranian deputy foreign minister for political affairs also echoed the same comments in a thread of posts on his Twitter page.

“The enemies of the Iranian nation should know that the Iran, which was able to defeat the ‘U.S.’ maximum pressure campaign’ and force the White House leaders to admit this disgraceful failure, will not allow the Zionists to promote Iranophobia through a ‘maximum blackmail game’ and legitimize their anti-Iran sentiments,” Bagheri Kani said.

The senior diplomat also stressed that among the strategic features of the foreign policy apparatus in the current Iranian administration is to avoid “spending its foreign policy treasures” for the success of diplomacy.

This is exactly one of the major principles of a Muslim and an Islamic Republic of Iran’s politicians which has been sometimes ignored by some pro-Western statesmen. Bagheri Kani actually stated that end does not justify the means and the negotiating team will not accept the excessive demands of the West just for the sake of striking a deal and to show a false victory, something which has been done in 2015 talks.

“In other words, in order to show we are successful in the field of diplomacy, we are not willing to compromise on the principles and foundations of the [Iranian] foreign policy and the red lines of the [Islamic] establishment,” Bagheri Kani noted.

In Iran’s foreign policy apparatus, Bagheri Kani explained, having close ties with other countries does not hinge on whether they are Eastern or Western nations, but on their capability to help Iran meet the country’s national interests and security as well as welfare of its people.

Bagheri Kani is one of the statesmen who really is loyal to the principles of the Islamic Revolution of Iran as he fights for protecting the nation’s rights against the world-mongers. So it is natural such baseless charges and claims are directed against him and his team because he is on the right track and this makes angry the West and its allies either in the world or even inside the country.

Meanwhile Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian reiterated Tehran’s resolve to continue talks on the revival of the 2015 multilateral agreement, urging an end to the United States’ “sanctions lunacy” and the International Atomic Energy Agency’s political approaches in this regard. And he also reiterated that Iran will not accept whatever the West dictates just for the sake of striking a successful deal because for the negotiating team what is important is the country’s rights and they are not ready to accept the deal and please the West at the expense of ignoring the nation’s rights.

So the West is better to realize that the current team and government will not sign any deal which weakens Iran’s rights and power and Bagheri Kani is the flag-bearer of this movement of fight for the right in the country and American statesmen should forget the 2015 talks because they are now facing a strong and determined team which is not ready to give an iota of concession to the West, and the IAEA as the pawn of the West will be also unable to bring down this revolutionary team which thinks of nothing but the Islamic Republic of Iran’s rights.
