Sunday, 17 January 2021 (YJC)_ Iranian Foreign Minister Condemns French FM’s recent remarks about Iran.
In a massage on his twitter account on Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif Condemns his French counterparts’ ‘absurd’ remarks about Iran.
“Dear colleague: You kick-started your cabinet career with arms sales to Saudi war criminals. Avoid absurd nonsense about Iran,” Zarif wrote.
He went on to write “Reality check: YOU are destabilizing OUR region. Stop protecting criminals who chainsaw their critics and use YOUR arms to slaughter children in Yemen.”
The French minister claimed on Saturday that the JCPOA was not enough and there should be negotiations on Iran’s missile program. Le Drian also accused Iran of destabilizing the region.
He also made another response on his twitter account saying “E3 leaders—who rely on signature of OFAC functionaries to carry out their obligations under JCPOA—have done ZILCH to maintain JCPOA. Remember @EmmanuelMacron's stillborn initiative or UK non-payment of court-ordered debt?”
The Iranian minister also noted that “JCPOA is alive because of Iran and not E3,” while also mentioning Le Drian in his post.
