National Security and Foreign Policy committee Chairman Hashmatullah Faisah Bishah has ruled out the possibility of the US launching a military strike against Iran, noting that US President Donald Trump is adopting a de-escalation policy and has never followed a military approach with Iran.
Commenting on the White House’s announcement that US President Donald Trump had passed his number on to the Swiss embassy to give to Iran, he claimed that the Americans have used up the last of their sanctions against Iran.
He said that the American deployment in the Gulf was an attempt to exert political pressure on Tehran to force it to negotiate.
Moreover, he attributed Trump’s unwillingness to engage in a conflict with Iran to an agreement between him and National Security Advisor John Bolton before the USS Abraham Lincoln was dispatched to the region.
Trump wants to reduce tensions and prevent the emergence of military rhetoric between Iran and the US because he originally opposes the military approach to confront Iran, the MP went on to say.
Trump adopts the approach of sanctions and economics and thinks this would drag Iran to negotiations, Bishah continued. The US president has no military methodology, even in smaller challenges.
The Iranian official did not disclose the source of the information on which he based his analysis.
Meanwhile, head of Iran's Strategic Council on Foreign relations Kamal Kharrazi urged Europe to implement its nuclear deal pledges.
A reliable website quoted him as saying that the 60-day deadline set by Tehran was a good opportunity for the Europeans to expedite the financial mechanism launched by Germany, France, and the UK at the end of January to circumvent sanctions.
