To Israel-Firsters, expending US interests abroad is not enough.
They now want to trample the US Constitution to expend American interests at home too.
Where's the limit?https://middleeastmonitor.com/۲۰۲۱۱۱۰۲-israel-literally-owned-congress-says-trump/…
It still does.Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) changed the world.
His mission to promote honesty, perseverance, compassion, empathy and tolerance was a blessing for humankind.
He left us instructions for how to make it better.
Together, as one, anything is possible.
Happy #Mawlid to all Muslims
۴۱ years ago this week—on ۲۲ Sep. ۱۹۸۰—Saddam Hussein unleashed war on Iran—and the world bet on his quick victory
Hence, the UN Security Council waited a full week before adopting a hollow resolution. Even then, no condemnation or even clichéd «call for withdrawal». ۱/۲
While citizens of several US allies perpetrated ۹/۱۱, Iranians in Tehran sympathized with American victims.
That global solidarity could've been put to good use. But the US paradigm of coercion & war—with its GWOT—has brought nothing but death, destruction & misery to the world.
A horrifying strategic mistake is being repeated in Afghanistan
No one—domestic or alien—can rule the valiant people of Afghanistan by force. Three superpowers failed miserably. So will any other claimant to coercive authority
Time to engage & include before tides change again.
أهنئ صدیقی وزمیلی الدبلوماسی المخضرم@Amirabdolahian على کسبه ثقة مجلس الشورى الإسلامی کوزیر خارجیة الجمهوریة الإسلامیة فی إیران، متمنیا له وللوزارة ومسؤولیها والإدارة الجدیدة، التوفیق والنجاح فی العلاقات الدولیة
After four decades of diplomacy, I move on to full-time teaching and research.
I'll continue to pursue and promote global understanding and encourage «positive-sum» dialog—based on empathy, mutual respect and equal footing.
Looking forward to continuing the exchange of views.
Pleased to host Japanese FM Motegi in Tehran on Sunday.
In what is probably my last meeting with a counterpart as Iran’s foreign minister, we discussed strengthening bilateral relations, how to resucitate the JCPOA and the catastrophic US-engineered situation in Afghanistan.
اللهم إنک تعلم إنه لم یکن ماکان منا تنافسا فی سلطان ولا التماسا من فضول الحطام ولکن لنرى المعالم من دینک ونظهر الاصلاح فی بلادک و یأمن المظلومون من عبادک و یعمل بفرائضک و سنتک و أحکامک
Violence & war—like occupation—never solve problems.
Iran welcomes announcement by @KarzaiH on forming a Coordination Council by Afghan leaders.
We hope that it can lead to dialogue & a peaceful transition in Afghanistan.
Iran stands ready to continue its peacemaking efforts.I saw an extremely inappropriate picture today.
Need I remind all that Aug. ۲۰۲۱ is neither Aug. ۱۹۴۱ nor Dec. ۱۹۴۳.
The Iranian people have shown—including during the JCPOA talks—that their destiny can NEVER be subject to decisions in foreign embassies or by foreign powers.
Türkiye'nin bazı bölgelerinde çıkan yangından çok etkilendim. Türkiye hükümeti ve halkının acılarını paylaşıyoruz ve yanlarında olacağız. Vefat edenlere Allah'tan rahmet, yaralılara acil şifalar dilerim. Hayır dua ve imkanlarımız Türkiye'deki kardeşlerimizin hizmetinde olacaktırFelicitations to all Muslims on auspicious occasion of #EidAlAdha
As far fewer perform Hajj because of pandemic, let’s pray to the Almighty to rid the world of not just corona but also other viruses: arrogance, coercion, terrorism—incl #EconomicTerrorism & #MedicalTerrorism.۶ years ago today, #JCPOA resolved a UNSC Chapter VII issue without resorting to war.
Obama realized his «crippling sanctions» would not cripple Iran or its centrifuges. Trump ineptly thought «maximum pressure» would.
Never will.@POTUS should look closely at these figures
Honored to be host of cordial & substantive dialog between senior Afghan reps.
As foreign forces leave Afghanistan, no impediment remains for Afghans of all political stripes to chart a peaceful & prosperous future for the next generation.
Iran stands with our Afghan brethren.
在中国共产党迎来百年华诞之际，向中国共产党的斐然成就致以热烈祝贺。百年恰是风华正茂。祝愿在中国共产党领导下，中国越来越青春，伊中关系不断焕发新的活力。از شنیدن این خبر غم انگیز بسیار متاثر شدم. برای آن مرحومه غفران و رضوان الهی و برای شما، همکاران و خانواده داغدار صبر و اجر مسئلت دارم.At @AntalyaDF, emphasized the imperative of cognitive adjustments:
۱.Diplomacy not about trust; rather, respecting interest of counterparts.
http://۲.US broke JCPOA. Onus on US to fix it.
۳.Outsiders will leave our region sooner or later. We must seize its ownership.
Fruitful talks with UNSG SRs on Afghanistan, Mr. Arnault, and on Yemen, Mr. Griffiths.
Key theme: Peace processes must be owned by all Afghans and Yemenis—without external imposition.
Important common denominator: Iran seeks regional peace and stability. Ready to facilitate.
Agreed in phone call with FM @DominicRaab on need to resume full compliance with the JCPOA.
Underlined that US must return fully to its obligations & cease trying to use unlawful economic war against Iran as negotiating «leverage».
Also discussed bilateral & consular issues.In «black is white» world, UN deprived Iran of its voting rights in the #UNGA as we’re in arrears.
Not considered: US #EconomicTerrorism prevents Iran paying for FOOD, let alone UN dues
My letter to @antonioguterres:
ps: UN can also collect from $۱۱۰M US stole in recent piracy
Iran stands with Africa, inspired by its triumph against domination.
As COVID-۱۹ continues to ravage the world, we're again joined in the fight against apartheid—this time #VaccineApartheid
Iran will always be reliable partner to all African friends.
Congrats on #AfricaDay۲۰۲۱In Dublin on my third and final leg of a European trip. Met with @PresidentIRL and FM @simoncoveney.
Recognizing our emotional ties, discussed furthering political, economic and social relations.
Also discussed JCPOA, Yemen, Afghanistan and grave situation in Palestine.
As US-made munitions rain down on innocent Palestinians, US gives another $۷۳۵M in «precision» missiles to Israel to kill more children with more precision.
Then US blocks the mildest possible #UNSC statement.
The world is watching as Israel & its enabler show their ugly faces.
- An important triumph of the rule of law.
We know the origin of such lawless bullying, and it should be stopped at its roots.
Arbitrary economic coercion by the US continues to undermine the global economic order..@USEnvoyIran is exploiting the change of administration in Iran & «memory lapse» of E۳/EU to rewrite recent history.
Iran never left to do a «mutual return to JCPOA».
The US did.

That experience shaped our collective psyche, exacerbating our suspicion of the world body—& indeed the world
Everything in the past ۴۱ years has deepened that mistrust, particularly UN/IAEA (mis-)behavior following US’ ۲۰۱۸ withdrawal from the JCPOA
Time to change behavior
An irony of historical proportions:
US, UK, Australia & France—all self-proclaimed champions of non-proliferation—are racing to enable HEU proliferation.
The anger and rift today is over competition for a submarine deal with SERIOUS PROLIFERATION THREAT.
The world is watching.بار دگر افغانستان شاهد یک فاجعه راهبردی است.
هیچ قدرت داخلی یا خارجی نتوانسته با زور بر این ملت غیور چیره شود. سه ابرقدرت این روش را آزمودند و با ذلت شکست خوردند. فرجام هر مدعی حکومت زورمحور جز این نخواهد بود.
زمان آن است تا باز ورق برنگشته، فراگیری و مشارکت جمعی پذیرفته شود.
US humiliation in Afghanistan is the rule and not an exception:
Vietnam
Afghanistan (USSR)
Iran & Kuwait (Iraq)
Somalia
Balkans
Lebanon
Iraq
Libya
Syria
Yemen
…
Use of force is not just illegal, it is SUICIDAL.
High time to abandon the fallacy of «all options on the table».
I congratulate my friend, colleague, and fellow long-time diplomat @Amirabdolahian on his confirmation as the next foreign minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Wishing him, the ministry and its officials, and the new administration, all success in international relations.
My farewell as foreign minister to my compatriots (in Farsi):
خدانگهدار

Despite the wishes of a long line of oppressors, the battle against tyranny did not end in Karbala, or in ۶۷۰ CE.
۱۴ centuries later, resistance to oppression and struggles for freedom continue across the globe.
On #Ashura۲۰۲۱ Hussein's beacon shines on.
For all their talk of democracy & War on Terror, events in Afghanistan & statements by US & NATO officials prove:
They invaded & occupied Afghanistan & elsewhere ONLY to pursue their own interests—but couldn't even achieve that.
US/NATO now have clear obligation to compensate.
خشونت و جنگ، همانند اشغال، هیچگاه راه فیصله مشکلات افغانستان نبوده و نخواهد بود.
ابتکار برادران در شورای هماهنگی و دیگر رهبران افغانستان می‌تواند زمینه‌ساز گفتگو و انتقال مسالمت‌آمیز به صلح پایدار باشد.
جمهوری اسلامی ایران به کوشش خود برای مصالحه در افغانستان ادامه می‌دهد.On Aug ۱, a magnificent international conference center was inaugurated in Isfahan—home of a World Heritage Site.
The structure is testimony to the determination of Iran to continue the path of constructive engagement, based on equal footing and mutual respect.
See you there.
On July ۲۰—UNSCR ۲۲۳۱'s ۶th anniversary—I documented ۶ years of the West's [non-]implementation of JCPOA, in what may become my last & most important letter to UNSG.
It was published online today & soon in print.
English: https://bit.ly/۳xh۱E۳Q
Farsi: https://bit.ly/۳۷eh۸uM
US-affiliated gunmen hatch plots on US soil to assassinate leaders in & while US government busily covers up its criminal ties by accusing others of a patently ridiculous, childishly conceived kidnapping operation.
Put your house in order before throwing bricks at others'.
میزبان نشستی مهم در زمانی حساس و با حضور هیئت‌های عالی‌رتبه افغانستانی بودم.
امروز مردم افغانستان می‌توانند بدون مداخله و تحمیل خارجی برای آینده خود تصمیم بگیرند.
ایران همراه با کشورهای منطقه پشتیبان کوشش رهبران افغانستان در مسیر صلح، آرامش و پیشرفت برای همه مردم افغانستان است.
۳۳ years ago today, US shot down #IranAir۶۵۵, killing all ۲۹۰ civilians aboard.
As a young diplomat, I witnessed US refusal to apologize over the human tragedy it caused.
US violence against Iranians began long before & continues today with #EconomicTerrorism against our people
چقدر غم انگیز است. به شما و همکارانتان در ایسنا و خانواده ایشان صمیمانه تسلیت عرض می‌کنم. رحمت و مغفرت برای ایشان و صبر و اجر برای بازماندگان مسئلت دارم.On sidelines of @AntalyaDF, fruitful bilateral talks with leaders & FMs of Afghanistan, Croatia, Iraq, Kuwait, Pakistan, Poland, Tajikistan, Turkey & Venezuela.
First trilateral with Turkey & Afghanistan.
Also constructive talks on JCPOA & regional issues with @JosepBorrellF.
بعد فترة طویلة من الحروب والاعتداءات ضد #الفلسطینیین والتهدیدات الموجهة #للجمهوریة_الإسلامیة‌ها هو الطاغیة یسقط وها هی #غزة ترفع شارة #النصر وتواصل #إیران مسیرة #العزة . لعل من یأتی بعده یتعلم أن البنیان الذی تأسس على الاعتداء و #الاحتلال لن یطول بقاؤهIt remains unclear whether @POTUS and @SecBlinken are ready to bury the failed «maximum pressure» policy of Trump and @mikepompeo, and cease using #EconomicTerrorism as bargaining «leverage».
Iran is in compliance with the #JCPOA. Just read paragraph ۳۶.
Time to change course.Netanyahu has joined the disgraceful journey of his anti-Iran co-conspirators—Bolton, Trump and Pompeo—into the dustbin of history.
Iran continues to stand tall.
This destiny has been repeated over several millennia for all those wishing Iranians harm.
Time to change course.Intensive talks in Azerbaijan & Armenia on bilateral ties & recent tensions.
Iran has always insisted on respect for territorial integrity of all.
We welcome readiness of leaders on both sides to reach dignified mutual arrangements.
Huge possibilities for regional cooperation.
Lifting Trump's sanctions, @SecBlinken, is a legal & moral obligation. NOT negotiating leverage.
Didn’t work for Trump—won't work for you.
Release the Iranian people’s $Billions held hostage abroad due to US bullying
Trump's legacy is past its expiration date. Drop it,
@POTUSIn talks with Italian political & business leaders, agreed on Italy's great advantage in resuming business with Iran.
Excellent meetings with @Roberto_Fico, @vitopetrocelli, @luigidimaio, ex-PM D’Alema & Iran-Italy Chamber Chair Zampini.
Also discussed region, incl #Palestine.
