Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaie said Monday that Iran has no reason to fear the emerging 'Mecca agreement,' arguing that the alliance proves regional countries understand they cannot rely on the United States for their security, according to Iranian media.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaie said Monday that the 'Mecca agreement' — the emerging diplomatic framework between Tehran and Washington — demonstrates that regional states have concluded they cannot rely on the United States for their security. Baghaie's remarks, carried by Iranian media, were dismissive of any concerns over the deal's implications for Iran.
The statement follows a series of Iranian official comments on the ongoing US-Iran negotiations. As The Zioneer has reported, previous Iranian statements have warned the US against deviating from commitments under the memorandum of understanding, and Israeli officials have expressed skepticism about the deal's terms. Baghaie did not address specific provisions of the agreement in his remarks.
