Iran’s new president vows balance with all countries

Iran’s newly elected president says his government will create “balance in relations with all countries” in line with national interests and the prerequisites for peace but stressed to the ******* States that his country “will not respond to pressure”.

Masoud Pezeshkian penned “My Message To The New World” in the country’s state-owned Tehran Times late Friday, praising the latest presidential election that “demonstrated remarkable stability” and vowing to uphold campaign promises.

Pezeshkian, a 69-year-old heart surgeon and long-time lawmaker, beat hard-liner former nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili to clinch July 5’s run-off election to replace President Ebrahim Raisi, who was ******* in a helicopter ****** in May.

His administration would “prioritise strengthening relations with our neighbours” and urged ***** countries to use “all diplomatic leverages” to push for a lasting ceasefire in the ongoing *******-****** war in the Gaza Strip that started October 7.

Iran has long supported the militant group ******, and Pezeshkian on Wednesday expressed his all-out support of “the ************ resistance” in a message to the group’s chief Ismail Haniyeh.

Pezeshkian, in the letter Friday, hailed his country’s relations with Russia and China which “consistently stood by us during challenging times”.

He said Moscow was “a valued strategic ally” and his government would expand bilateral cooperation.

He expressed willingness to “support initiatives aimed at” achieving peace between Russia and Ukraine in the ongoing war that entered its third year.

The president also said he looked forward to furthering cooperation with Beijing and applauded it for brokering a deal to normalise relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia after seven years of diplomatic tensions.

Pezeshkian said he looks forward to engaging in constructive dialogue with ********* countries “based on principles of mutual respect” despite a relationship that has known “its ups and downs”.

In May 2018, the US unilaterally withdrew from the ****** Comprehensive Plan of Action — a nuclear agreement that also included Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.

Since then, Western powers have accused the Islamic Republic of expanding its nuclear program and enriching uranium to an unprecedented 60 per cent level, near-weapons-grade levels.

The US has issued severe, mainly economic, sanctions against Iran.

Pezeshkian accused the ********* countries of reneging on commitments made, following the US withdrawal, to ensure “effective banking transactions, effective protection of companies from US sanctions, and the promotion of investments in Iran”.

However, he added there were still many opportunities for collaboration between Iran and Europe.

He then addressed the US, underscoring his country’s refusal to “respond to pressure,” adding that Iran “entered the JCPOA in 2015 in good ****** and fully met our obligations.”

Pezeshkian said the US backing out has inflicted “hundreds of billions of dollars in damage to our economy” and caused “untold suffering, ****** and destruction on the Iranian people — particularly during the Covid pandemic” due to sanctions.

Pezeshkian said Western countries “not only missed a historic opportunity to reduce and manage tensions in the region and the world, but also seriously undermined the Non-Proliferation Treaty.”

He emphasised that “Iran’s defence doctrine does not include nuclear weapons.”

Iran has held indirect talks with President Joe Biden’s administration, though there’s been no clear movement toward constraining Tehran’s nuclear program for the lifting of economic sanctions.
