Iran’s Diplomacy with the US: Deterrence and Regional Security

So we changed the way and pattern of our diplomacy.

What is our goal? Our goal is to create security.

We are dealing with an aggressive and criminal regime.

If we let them get away with this unpunished, and let the Americans leave without getting our rights, well, if that happens, how can we know other countries won't say that attacking Iran comes at no cost?

We'll attack Iran. If we succeed, fine. And if we don't, it costs us nothing.

We want to make the Americans pay a price so that this becomes a deterrent.

What is that price? The price is the legal rights we have, We want to get our rights.

Therefore, Iran's negotiations, Iran's diplomacy with other countries, and also its diplomacy with the Americans is based on deterrence.

Another aspect is regional security. Yes.

This war showed that relying on America brings nothing but insecurity.

Before this war, everyone thought America was a guarantor of security.

Yes. Who is there in the region now who would say America isn't a source of insecurity?

So we must pursue diplomacy in a way that brings security to West Asia.

For example, why is Israel attacking Gaza now?

You must have seen in the news that, with this rain what a disaster has happened now— a humanitarian disaster under these tents.

What does Israel want in southern Lebanon, that it's bulldozing and destroying people's homes?

What does Israel want in southern Syria?

We must establish complete security in this region.

Security that allows all Islamic countries to develop, and make progress.

So, the first item in our discussion of diplomacy with America is an end to the war on all fronts, especially Lebanon.

Isn't this condition in the interests of all countries?

Wouldn't this bring security to all the countries of West Asia?

So we want, once and for all, to end this insecurity both in our own country and in the surrounding region.
