Former Vice President Advocates Diplomacy as the Key Solution for Resolving Disputes

Tehran, IRNA – In a recent statement, former Vice President Es’haq Jahangiri emphasized that negotiations and diplomacy represent the sole feasible approach to resolving disputes. He strongly urged that Iran should not overlook the chance for dialogue with the United States.

During an exclusive interview with IRNA on Wednesday, Jahangiri remarked, “If sanctions against Iran are lifted, an unparalleled economic opportunity will arise for all countries, particularly the U.S.” He pointed out that Iran has consistently shown its commitment to international obligations.

In contrast, he noted, “The U.S. unilaterally withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), failing to meet its obligations. This decision not only damaged U.S. credibility but also inflicted harm on Iran and its allied countries through sanctions. However, a window for dialogue has now opened, and we must seize this opportunity.”

Jahangiri further addressed the concerns surrounding Iran’s nuclear activities, highlighting a significant point: the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has issued a fatwa (religious decree) that prohibits the pursuit of nuclear weapons.

He stated, “Our negotiating team has also expressed full readiness for transparency and cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to ensure that Iran will never seek nuclear weapons.”

In his remarks, Jahangiri underscored the importance of prioritizing the lifting of sanctions in negotiations. He explained, “Iran’s development can benefit those concerned about regional stability, peace, and security. Sustainable development is crucial for establishing peace and security in the region, and Iran can play a pivotal role in this process.”

He confidently added, “I say this with full awareness of our country’s situation: If sanctions are removed, an unprecedented opportunity will emerge for all countries, especially the U.S., to engage in economic activities and investments. In Iran, development projects worth hundreds of billions of dollars are ready for participation, which can contribute to both regional development and lasting security.”

  • Key Points from Jahangiri’s Interview:
  • The importance of negotiations and diplomacy in resolving disputes.
  • The potential economic benefits of lifting sanctions for Iran and the U.S.
  • Iran’s commitment to transparency regarding its nuclear activities.
  • The readiness of Iran’s negotiating team to cooperate with the IAEA.
  • The significance of sustainable development for regional peace and security.

In conclusion, Jahangiri’s insights present a compelling case for dialogue and cooperation, which could pave the way for mutual benefits and stability in the region.
