Bakay: Instead of negotiating, America wants to dictate its terms.

Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

What is the connection between the US government's disregard for diplomatic commitments and its insistence on applying force and pressure to the "religious beliefs" of the Iranians?!

Faith is not an obstacle to rationality; Just as secularism does not necessarily mean wisdom. What makes logical negotiations impossible is not "Iran's religious beliefs," but America's negotiating behavior; Behavior that is more akin to unilaterally dictating demands than true diplomacy.

🔹 You can't expect a waiver from the other side, but he wasn't ready to give a mutual waiver; You cannot dictate your demands, ignore the legitimate interests of the other party, and at the same time expect a stable agreement.

Instead of ideological prejudices about the religious beliefs of Iranians, understand Iran's strategic interests and its legitimate security concerns. Most importantly, instead of blaming others, address your own record of breaking commitments and breaking promises.
