Standing room only as @JZarif and @SunjoyJ start one of the most awaited sessions of the day. #Raisina2020
Interesting. @JZarif says that the Obama admin slow rolled clearance for @Airbus to sell airliners to Iran after JCPOA for seven months in 2016, while the same clearance was issued to @Boeing in two months.
“Why do you allow the USA to bully you?” @JZarif clearly has no hope with the US and is making an impassioned appeal to Europe to play ball independent of the Americans.
“Europe does not need to tag along [with US actions re: Iran]” says @JZarif.
Who is celebrating Soleimani’s death? “President Trump and Pompeo, and Daesh,” thunders @JZarif. He describes the killed Maj Gen as “the most effective force against Daesh (ISIL).”
“I do not believe in preemptive self defence, I do not believe in preventive self defence” says @JZarif, noting that these make things more dangerous.
