TEHRAN, Sept 15 (NNN-IRNA) – Iran’s First Vice-President, Eshaq Jahangiri, said that, “the United States seeks the collapse of the Iranian government, through its maximum pressure campaign.”
“Their ultimate goal is the collapse of the Iranian government and their short term goal is to disintegrate the economy of the country,” Jahangiri was quoted as saying.
Jahangiri said, “Washington, as a signatory of the Iranian 2015 nuclear deal, unilaterally withdrew from the accord last year and launched an unfair war on Iran by restoration of the economic sanctions.”
U.S. President, Donald Trump, pulled Washington out of the deal in May, 2018, and re-imposed sanctions on Tehran.
The White House has vowed “maximum pressure” campaign, to push Tehran to the negotiation table for the signing of a new nuclear deal, a curb of Iran’s missile programme and containment of Iran’s influence in the region, which the Islamic republic has rejected.– NNN-IRNA
