1/6 Iran’s President Raisi, in his speech at swearing-in ceremony at Majlis, signals intention to resume negotiations in Vienna; no anti-US rhetoric; accent on diplomacy and balanced relationships. Excerpts:
2/6 The will of the people was independence and resistance to the extravagance of the arrogant and oppressive powers. At the same time, one must be committed to constructive and extensive interaction with the whole world.
3/6 ‘We use all the tools of national power, including diplomacy and intelligent interaction with the world, to ensure the national interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran.’
4/6 The nuclear program is completely peaceful. The Islamic Republic, according to the fatwa of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, prohibits nuclear weapons and such weapons have no place in the defence strategy of the Islamic Republic.
5/6 The policy of pressure and sanctions will not cause the Iranian people to give up pursuing their legal rights, including the right to development. Sanctions against Iran must be lifted and we will support any diplomatic plan that achieves this goal.
6/6 The world is changing and the interests of nations depend on understanding the new world and strategic interaction with emerging powers, and a successful foreign policy will be a balanced foreign policy.
