“They have all shown an interest in dragging the United States into a conflict,” Javad Zarif told Fox News Sunday. “I do not believe that President Trump wants to do that. I believe that President Trump ran on a campaign promise of not bringing the United States into another war.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif alleged Sunday that National Security Adviser John Bolton, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arabe Emirates intend to push President Donald Trump into conflict with Iran.
“They have all shown an interest in dragging the United States into a conflict,” he said. “I do not believe that President Trump wants to do that. I believe that President Trump ran on a campaign promise of not bringing the United States into another war.” However, Zarif argued that the administration’s effort to pressure Iran to change was “doomed to failure.”
France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the European Union, China and Russia all signed the 2015 treaty with Iran – as did the U.S., under then-President Barack Obama. The deal’s other signatories have strongly criticized Trump’s decision to withdraw from the agreement and have worked to circumvent reimposed U.S. sanctions on the Persian Gulf nation. Zarif also argued Sunday that Trump wanted to withdraw from the 2015 deal, because it was made under Obama’s administration.
