US, Israeli actions will not go unanswered: Iran speaker

14 May 2018 - 17:58


Press TV- Iran’s parliament speaker says US and Israeli efforts to wreck a 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran and relocate American embassy in Tel Aviv to the occupied Palestinian territories will not go unanswered.  


Ali Larijani's warning on Monday during an emergency meeting in Tehran of the Permanent Committee of Palestine by members of Inter-Parliamentary Union of Islamic Countries came as the US prepared to open its embassy in Jerusalem al-Quds.

"America and the Zionist regime should not think that their moves on Iran's nuclear issue and Palestine will remain unanswered," he said.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced US decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and reimpose sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

Last December, the US leader also said Washington had decided to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as the so-called capital of Israel and to relocate its embassy from Tel Aviv.

Larijani said, "America has entered a crisis of strategic decision-making that looks at the international arena immaturely and adventurously.”

He said Trump is "feeble-minded" and lacks "the power of long-term judgment and perception" about the measures that he takes.

"These measures which are in fact the result of the feeble-mindedness of the American statesmen are causing tensions in the world. America and the Zionist regime should know that they will soon see the outcome of their actions," he said.

"The Zionist regime and America are the cause of insecurity in the world and are not committed to any obligation," Larijani added.

The speaker touched on the US decision to relocate its embassy to Jerusalem al-Quds, saying the occasion is "a great opportunity for the world to take a serious and practical decision with unity and empathy against Trump's unwise and wrong decision."
