The newly elected Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi strictly rejects a meeting with US President Joe Biden. When asked if he could imagine meeting Biden, Raisi replied at the first press conference after his victory: “No.” The ultra-conservative cleric accused the US president of disregarding the internationally negotiated nuclear agreement with his country and of supporting “inhuman sanctions” against the Iranian people.
“Biden must first lift all sanctions in order to make the USA appear credible again in Iran,” demanded Raisi. He also refused to completely renegotiate the 2015 Vienna Agreement. “The Americans have not kept an agreement they have signed. Now they are demanding that we renegotiate.” That is impossible.
The future president assured that Iran would not change anything in its Middle East policy. Israel must respect the rights of the Palestinians and engage in a referendum on the future of the occupied territories. In Yemen, Tehran was in favor of an immediate end to civil war and against any political and military interference by foreign powers. With a view to Saudi Arabia, the future president was ready to restore relations to normal.
Busher nuclear power plant shut down
Meanwhile, the Iranian nuclear power plant Bushehr once again filled the international headlines. The nuclear power plant was shut down due to a “technical error”. The plant was “temporarily switched off and taken from the power grid,” said the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency. At first there was no more precise description of the problem. Iranian nuclear facilities have been targeted by cyber attacks attributed to Israel on several occasions in the past.
