At a conference titled “Us and the West in the Thoughts of the Supreme Leader,” Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, discussed Iran’s complex relationship with the West. He emphasized the need to understand the Western perspective, which often seeks dominance. Larijani outlined five historical periods of Iran-West relations, from ancient times to the post-Islamic Revolution, highlighting Iran’s struggle for dignity and independence. He criticized recent U.S. actions, particularly in light of the Israeli assaults and U.S. involvement, asserting that the nuclear issue is a pretext for Western hostility. He called for national unity against aggression and questioned U.S. negotiation sincerity.
Iran’s nuclear policy is under scrutiny as the snapback mechanism of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) raises concerns. Iran warned European nations that activating this mechanism would lead to its withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a shift in its nuclear doctrine. The snapback process aims to address violations and could result in the reimposition of UN sanctions. The JCPOA’s sunset clause, expiring next October, could prompt European nations to activate the mechanism, further complicating Iran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. This situation emphasizes the need for a more constructive approach from the international community.
