Iran warns U.S. administration of 'maximum failure' if it continues Trump's mentality

The Xinhua reported, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Monday that the U.S. administration must know the continuation of former President Donald Trump's mentality would only result in "maximum failure."

Addressing a weekly press conference, Saeed Khatibzadeh noted the United States should come to Vienna with a real agenda for continuing the talks over the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal, commonly known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and completely fulfill its commitments under it.

He stressed: "This is the sole way contributing to the restoration of the JCPOA."

Reacting to U.S. Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley's remarks that Washington "can't wait forever" for Tehran to decide whether it wants to restart the JCPOA talks, Khatibzadeh said the United States is the one that withdrew from the deal, violated the resolution, and threatened those seeking to implement the agreement with punishment.

Iran's President Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian have sent clear messages about the continuation of the nuclear talks.

He said, that the talks must safeguard the Iranian people's interests within the framework of the JCPOA.

The window of opportunity will remain open for Washington for only a limited period of time, said the spokesman, expressing hope that U.S. officials would know how to fulfill their commitments under the JCPOA.

Iran and the five remaining parties to the JCPOA started discussions over the revival of the deal after the U.S. unilateral withdrawal in May 2018. After six rounds of talks, the parties have said serious differences remain between Iran and the United States for restoration of the deal.

Upon arriving to participate in the summit of the European Political Community, which includes around forty heads of state in Budapest, he said, "I look forward to sitting with the elected U.S. president and seeing how we will collectively ensure we meet challenges, including the threats from Russia and North Korea." He also noted that the strengthening of ties between Russia and North Korea poses a threat to the United States as well, according to reports from Agence France-Presse.

Before Trump's victory, Rutte expressed confidence that a united Washington would remain part of the defensive alliance, even if Trump became the 47th president of the United States. In an interview with German public broadcaster ZDF last Monday night, he stated that both Republicans and Democrats understand that NATO serves not only the security of Europe but also that of America. He added that both candidates are aware that the security of the United States is closely tied to NATO.

On Wednesday, NATO congratulated Trump on his victory but did not address the Ukrainian issue.

It is noteworthy that the relationship between the elected U.S. president and the defense alliance was not the best during his first term in the White House. Trump criticized NATO member states multiple times and even hinted at withdrawing from the alliance unless they increased their financial contributions.

Additionally, the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war is one of the matters that complicate relations between the two sides, especially since Trump has repeatedly stated that he can end this ongoing conflict, which began in 2022, quickly. He implied that he had a peace plan between Kyiv and Moscow, while his vice president, JD Vance, revealed aspects of that plan, which stipulated Ukraine's commitment not to join NATO, thereby sending reassuring signals to the Russians.

Furthermore, many NATO member states in Europe fear that Trump might halt military aid to Ukraine after he previously criticized the U.S. for pouring funds into supporting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
