President-elect Raisi backs nuclear talks, rules out meeting Biden
President-elect Ebrahim Raisi on Monday backed talks between Iran and six world powers to revive a 2015 nuclear deal but flatly rejected meeting U.S. President Joe Biden, even if Washington removed all sanctions.
Iranian President-elect Ebrahim Raisi on Monday said he backed talks between Iran and six world powers to revive a 2015 nuclear deal, but flatly rejected meeting U.S. President Joe Biden, even if Washington removed all sanctions.
In his first news conference since he was elected on Friday, the hardline cleric urged Americans and Europeans to fulfill their commitments to the nuclear deal known as the JCPOA: IRANIAN PRESIDENT-ELECT, EBRAHIM RAISI (in Farsi): “The Americans violated the JCPOA and the Europeans did not fulfill their commitments.
What I want to stress to the U.S. is that based on the nuclear deal, you were obligated to lift the sanctions and you did not; return and fulfill your commitments.
To the Europeans I say that they should definitely not remain pressured by American policies and should fulfill their commitments under the JCPOA." Negotiations have been under way in Vienna since April to work out how Iran and the U.S. can both return to compliance with the nuclear pact, which Washington abandoned in 2018 under then-President Donald Trump before reimposing sanctions on Iran.
Iran has subsequently breached the deal's limits on enrichment of uranium designed to minimize the risk of it developing nuclear weapons potential.
Tehran has long denied having any such ambition.
But when asked if he would meet U.S. President Joe Biden if sanctions were lifted, Raisi responded with a "No".
60-year-old Raisi, a strident critic of the West, will take over from pragmatist Hassan Rouhani on Aug.
3.
Raisi said his foreign policy priority would be improving ties with Iran's Gulf Arab neighbors, while calling on Iran's regional rival Saudi Arabia to immediately halt its intervention in Yemen.
Iranian and Western officials alike say Raisi's rise is unlikely to alter Iran's negotiating stance in talks to revive the nuclear deal - Iran's hardline Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has the final say on all major policy.
During his visit to Pakistan, Iranian President Raisi issued a stern warning to Israel, cautioning against any attack on Iranian territory, hinting at potentially dire consequences for the "Zionist regime." He highlighted Iran's retaliatory strike on Israel in April and emphasized solidarity with Palestine. Raisi's visit also aimed to strengthen economic ties between Iran and Pakistan, with agreements signed to foster cooperation.

On Thursday, a call for restraint echoed from Russia, Germany, and Britain to nations in the Middle East, as tensions escalated over an Iranian threat targeting Israel. Israel, in response, asserted its readiness to address all its security concerns. Lufthansa, one of the limited Western airlines serving Tehran, prolonged the suspension of its flights to the Iranian capital, citing safety concerns. Additionally, Russia cautioned against travel to the Middle East amidst the escalating situation. The backdrop of this tension is the vow of retaliation from Iran following the April 1 airstrike on its embassy compound in Damascus, which resulted in the death of a senior Iranian general and six other military officers. This incident has further strained an already tense region, compounded by the ongoing Gaza conflict. While Israel has not claimed responsibility for the airstrike, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei asserted that Israel must face consequences for the attack, likening it to an assault on Iranian soil.
