Zarif dismisses Trump administration’s new Iran strategy as a ‘sham’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif dismisses the new Iran strategy laid out by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo earlier today as a “sham.”
“US diplomacy sham is merely a regression to old habits: imprisoned by delusions & failed policies — dictated by corrupt Special Interest — it repeats the same wrong choices and will thus reap the same ill rewards,” Zarif tweets.
“Iran, meanwhile, is working with partners for post-US JCPOA solutions,” he adds, referring to the 2015 nuclear deal by its formal name.
