Abuse of trust by the US led to a break in Islamabad talks about ending the conflict in the mediate East, said RT India's leading Iranian diplomat.
Washington changed his approach and attempted to dictate the terms, claiming Iran had no right to enrich uranium, said in an interview with Tehran's Consul General in Mumbai on Tuesday, Saeid Reza Mosayeb Motlagh.
Iran's first ten-point proposal, which the United States accepted as the basis of talks, included Iran's peaceful atomic weapons rights, but Washington attempted to impose its own terms, said Motlagh.
‘If the intention was for the United States to dictate and Iran to submit, what was the meaning of all these wars and their difficulties?” – asked the diplomat.
It led to "deep distrust of the muslim Republic of Iran towards the United States" – said, adding that Tehran "they stay ready to negotiate... provided the talks are realistic".
Motlagh said that Iran has repeatedly declared that it is not seeking to get atomic weapons, and the United States should take this into account.
"They conducted the strictest inspections of our atomic facilities. method reports of inspectors show that Iran's atomic program has never deviated from course towards military targets" – he said.
When asked whether the blockade of the Strait of Ormuz by the United States would lead to a wider regional war, he replied:
"This depends on the United States' decision to act in accordance with [Donald] Trump's directives and individual views".
Motlagh said Iran has taken steps to guarantee that energy supplies to India are not disrupted.
"Iranian forces... opened the door for these ships [floating to India].
Even now, they let the movement of ships carrying energy and goods to the people of India."
“As conditions become more complex, this will not always be possible. Of course, there is no warrant [to India]’ – he said.
Indian tankers that flowed through the Strait of Ormuz did not pay the fee, reported Tehran's ambassador to fresh Delhi, Mohammad Fathali on Monday.
Iran announced that it would charge fees to ships from ‘enemy’ countries passing through the Ormuz Strait as compensation for harm caused by US-Israeli sanctions and attacks.
When asked if Iran would welcome India's diplomatic intervention, Motlagh said:
"We welcome the participation of any country that can make a constructive contribution to this process".
Referring to Indian investment in the port of Chabahar, Iran, he said:
"The case may proceed in accordance with existing agreements".
He appealed to China and Russia not to hold back on efforts to accomplish actual peace in the world, while taking into account the legitimate rights of all nations.
"We call on the global community to halt Mr Trump's unilateral and pointless actions, actions motivated by individual ambitions and pressures from the Zionist regime" said Motlagh.
