Mousavian: Nuclear agreement affixing power through democracy

Tehran, Oct 2, IRNA – A former senior Iranian nuclear negotiator says the nuclear agreement between Iran and the six world powers (the US, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany) is affixing power through diplomacy. Seyed Hossein Mousavian, a research scholar at Princeton University, made the remarks while elaborating on disadvantages of the war and sanctions alternatives and advantages of diplomacy concerning Iran's nuclear dossier in his speeches in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 'The nuclear agreement is affixing power not through war, attack and occupation but through diplomacy,' Mousavian added. He underlined that Iran and the world powers chose negotiations instead of war, and said, 'The nuclear negotiations were the most important negotiations between a regional independent power (Iran) and the world power. Mousavian pointed to Saudi Arabia and Israel as main losers of the nuclear agreements reached between Tehran and the world powers, and said, 'The most important countries that could benefit from the failure of the negotiations were Israel and Saudi Arabia; Israel waged three wars of Gaza, Iraq, Syria and Yemen in order to prevent the success of the nuclear talks and Saudi Arabia sold its oil for free for 18 months in a bid to make the nuclear agreement fail.' He noted that the important achievement of the nuclear agreement was strengthening orientation justice in the world which deprived the radical war-mongers in the region and the world. Mousavian said that Israel and the Zionist lobby in the US were the main players against the nuclear agreement, adding, 'The mother of the different between Iran and the US in the Middle East is also the issue of Israel, because Iran believes that the US all-out support for Israel has resulted in Israel's practice of injustice, crime and historical oppressions towards the Palestinians and displacement of millions of Palestinians.'
