In a statement Wednesday, lawmakers mentioned recent remarks by US leader negotiators Steve Witkov and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who said Iran had no rights to enrich uranium under a potential alternative to the 2015 nuclear deal.
“We, members of the Islamic Council, responding to these paranoid and absurd claims, have declared that the US administration is on a path of decline and in a weak and vulnerable state,” the statement said.
“The administration is a supporter of both state and non-state terrorism. At home, it faces popular protests in dozens of states, and internationally it is intertwined with more than 100 countries due to tariffs and unilateral policy imposition.”
The statement said weakness on the part of the US government had led it to disgracefully retreat in the war imposed on Yemen’s resilience and brave state, referring to the Arab country’s halt of US bombing.
The statement said the US had no choice but to enter negotiations with Hamas, despite poses a serious threat to Hamas and setting a deadline for the release of Israeli prisoners of war.
Lawmakers said they need credit to help US President Donald Trump secure victory for his fellow Republicans in the upcoming parliamentary elections after he failed to end the Ukrainian war and other conflicts. That’s why he’s negotiating with Iran.
“A regime, very deeply grasped by internal crises and repeated external obstacles, is not in a position to determine the conditions of any country, especially in the great independent states of Iran. Officials of the US administration are too important to issue orders to the constantly dignified and dignified Iranian state.”
The statement further pointed out that Iran’s nuclear activity and enrichment efforts are completely legal and legal, and fully compliant with the NPT regulations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
“According to Article IV of the NPT, each member state has an intransitable right to research, develop, produce and use nuclear energy. Therefore, the Islamic Republic of Iran is legally entitled to the right to benefit from the entire nuclear fuel cycle, especially in the area of enrichment,” the lawmaker said.
The lawmakers said Iran’s trust property measures and repeated testing by the IAEA demonstrate the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program.
“The Iranian state has never sought nuclear weapons or sought them. The only regime in the world that used nuclear weapons to massacre other countries is the United States, a regime established by land occupation and killing and displacement of hundreds of thousands of indigenous peoples.”
The statement vowed that “the empty rhetoric of these criminals” would not affect Iranian policies, and that lawmakers would “never tolerate any form or arrogant behavior in any form from our nation’s enemies.”
“By adopting all the capabilities available, we are adamantly defending the interests of the great nation, and the government acts in line with these laws and policies.”
