“The Islamic Revolution was established to ensure that the Iranian people and their leaders cannot determine the conditions,” he said. “The core principle of our foreign policy is that it is “not East or West.” This means not liberation, but independence from all global authority. ”
Araguchi made it clear that he has no faith in negotiations with the United States given Washington’s history that the Islamic Republic did not support the agreement.
“Iran negotiated in good faith and reached an agreement, but the outcome was nothing more than non-compliance and withdrawal by other parties,” he said.
The diplomat emphasized that refusing to negotiate with the United States is therefore a calculated, expert-led decision, not an act of stubbornness or emotional response.
“It’s not a reasonable choice to trust the US again. Iranians once again demanded independence because our country was once completely dependent on the West and lacked sovereignty,” he said. said, referring to the state of the country under the former US-backed Pahlavi administration.

“Why should we trust them when they do nothing but impose sanctions and issue threats?” he asked.
The foreign minister emphasized that Iranian leaders, backed by the will of the people, would never allow foreign countries to impose their will on the country.
Citing a case of wise and relevant leadership familiarity, Araguchi praises his leader’s recent negotiation statements, calling them “completely intelligent and rooted in logic.”
He responded, repeating that Iran remained immobilized in resisting coercion and stood firm under hegemonic pressure.
Meanwhile, Araguchi said today marked not only the anniversary of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, but also the victory in the Gaza Strip.
“The Palestinians endured 16 months of relentless Zionist pressure. Their resistance forced the Israeli regime to grant and agree to the (POW/) prisoner exchange. This is a constant resistance “It’s the result of that,” he insisted.
