Abbas Mousavi called the scheme \u201cone of the most disgraceful of proposals and initiatives,\u201d saying the US has devised the plan on the basis of ignorance of\u00a0the Palestinian nation\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n\n

\n

\u201cFrom the Iranian people\u2019s perspective, the \u2018deal of century\u2019 amounts to an imposed peace and the selling of Palestine,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

\u201cThis plan is consigning the Palestinian cause to oblivion,\u201d Mousavi said, adding that the Islamic Republic\u2019s government will stand by the Palestinian government and people until the liberation of the holy occupied city of Jerusalem al-Quds.<\/p>\n\n

Trump had announced the scheme, which he has controversially named the \u201cdeal of the century,\u201d years ago but withheld its details.<\/p>\n\n

On Tuesday, he unveiled the scheme\u2019s outlines, which features the recognition of al-Quds as Israel\u2019s \u201ccapital\u201d -- although Palestinians want the city\u2019s eastern part as the capital of their future state.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Trump also said under the plan, Israel would be annexing the settlements that it has been building in the West Bank since occupying the Palestinian territory in 1967.<\/p>\n\n

This is while all previous foreign-mediated agreements between the Palestinians and Israelis as well as repeated United Nations resolutions have mandated Tel Aviv to withdraw behind the 1967 borders.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Palestinians, who had already spurned the plot, repeated their opposition to it soon after Trump\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Mousavi said the only way out of the 70-year-old impasse brought about by Israel\u2019s declaration of existence in 1948 is to seek recourse to popular vote concerning the fate of Palestine.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

He also regretted some Muslim states\u2019 alignment with Washington and Tel Aviv on the Palestinian issue.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThey do not discern\u00a0their enemies from their friends,\u201d the spokesman said. He hoped that recent developments help them rectify their views \u201cand realize that their enemy is not but the entity called Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

EU top diplomat\u2019s Iran visit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The official also addressed a pending visit to Iran by the European Union\u2019s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The European official would be discussing the most recent developments concerning the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, Iran-EU relations, as well as the regional and international situation with President Hassan Rouhani, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, and Parliament\u00a0Speaker Ali Larijani.<\/p>\n\n

Iran slams Europe for failing to honor JCPOA, acting as 'subservient' to US<\/a><\/div>\n\"Iran<\/a><\/div>\n\n

Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif hits out at the European signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal for failing to meet their commitments, saying that they are just acting as<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Mousavi said Iran considered the visit to be \u201cimportant,\u201d and that Tehran would be engaging Borrell in very \u201cstraightforward\u201d talks.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

He hoped that during the talks, Brussels would take heed of Tehran\u2019s arguments, realize the roots of the current situation and the new logic governing it, and take serious action to deescalate existing tensions \u201cif they [Europeans] entertain any good intentions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The visit is significant because it comes at a time when the European signatories to the nuclear deal \u2014 France, Britain and Germany \u2014 have failed to meet their commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Last month, the trio gave into Washington\u2019s pressure and announced that they were triggering a dispute mechanism devised in the accord which amounts to a formal accusation that Tehran had broken the terms of the agreement.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Mousavi said, \u201cThe Americans have to abandon their naked animosity towards Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThis animosity is nothing new as it dates back to before the Islamic Revolution,\u201d he added, referring to Washington\u2019s enabling role in the 1953 coup that restored power to the US-backed monarchical regime in Iran.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The official noted that the antagonism manifested itself in the form of the US support for aggressors and terrorist activities against Iran and its oppressive sanctions following the Islamic Revolution.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Mousavi said while the Europeans were yet to trigger the dispute mechanism, they were convinced not to do so after receiving a 14-page legal letter addressed by Zarif to Borrell that brought the European states\u2019 arguments into question.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Borrell, the spokesman added, will\u00a0be told about Iran\u2019s grievances toward Europe\u00a0for siding with the US, and showing through its inaction that it does not possess either the will or the ability to withstand Washington\u2019s pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div>","content_source":"","content_url":"","content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2020-02-03 14:39:47","content_date_finish":"2020-02-03 14:39:47","content_date_register":"2020-02-03 14:40:53","content_date_last_edit":"2020-02-03 14:40:53","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"0","content_show_related_img":"0","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"1","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"0","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"2406607904","attach_date_register":"2020-02-03 14:40:51","attach_id":"7161","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"850","attach_img_height":"566","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"549","visit_date_last":"2024-11-25 10:29:49","attach_title":"Trump deal amounts to sellout of Palestine 2","node_title":"News,Ordinary","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":98, \"left\":2, \"right\":11},{\"node_id\":127, \"left\":66, \"right\":67}]","node_number":"2","allowable_node":"2"}]]
