Zarif: Iran will never submit to US pressures
Tehran (KNA) - Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says hard as it may be, Iran will never succumb to pressures being exerted on it by the United States.
"We will find a way. We have [done that] for 40 years, and will [do so] now too," the top diplomat told the Doha-based Al-Sharq newspaper on the sidelines of the 16th ministerial meeting of the Asia Cooperation Dialog (ACD) in the Qatari capital on Thursday.
Acknowledging that the course of action taken by Iran to thwart US pressures is not an easy one, Zarif asserted, "We will never accept pressures against our nation…We will never bow under pressures."
Iran, however, would welcome all those extending a hand of friendship towards it, the Iranian foreign minister added.
He joined the gathering a day earlier, when he addressed the attendees, warning about the "existential threat" that the US's unilateralism poses to the entire international community.
