Mashhad, Khorassan Razavi prov, Dec 12, IRNA � Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Thursday stressed that what has stopped the US from invading Iran is the resistance of the Iranian nation.
He added that Iranians? resistance is the real ?deterrent? power against enemies.

The foreign minister is in Mashhad to visit a number of senior local officials.

Speaking to IRNA, he added when US officials talk about military options, this would ?be meaningless as this would serve the interest of no side.?

Zarif added, ?Iranians will resist against any threat.?

He stressed that the US has, so far, taken no advantage of its military actions against other countries.

Reiterating Iran?s mistrust towards the West, Zarif said?, ?Iran would decide based on actions of western powers not their words.

?Iran will continue talks, if Americans meet their commitments.?
