America has emptied diplomacy of its meaning.
Ismail Bakai, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
We have nothing to do with the internal disputes and quarrels of the American officials, but there is one fact and that is that America has emptied diplomacy and negotiations of their true meaning. Diplomacy and diplomatic negotiations have always been a tool to prevent tension, settle disputes and establish peace, but America's behavior has shown that this country is using this tool in a completely different direction.
In less than 9 months we have seen on two occasions that the US used diplomacy and the negotiation process to ambush and launch a surprise attack. Such behavior naturally calls into question the validity of America's claims of adherence to diplomacy and causes the international community to view the country's diplomatic statements and positions with serious suspicion.
For this reason, today no country can be indifferent to these experiences and behaviors of America. Especially the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has a very heavy and long experience in interacting with the United States, must carefully consider these experiences in any diplomatic process and make decisions based on the behavioral reality of the United States.
These experiences must be taken into account in any process that becomes necessary in the field of diplomacy; Because it is not possible to judge the seriousness of his claims to negotiate and reach an agreement without considering the history and performance of the other party.
