On May 15th, Iranian Foreign Minister Alaghi stated on the 14th that the United States and its hegemonic policies are the root cause of Iran’s economic difficulties. According to the Islamic Republic of Iran News Agency, during a government meeting held in the capital Tehran on the same day, Aragorzi answered reporters’ questions and said that over the past 40 years, it has been the United States that has hindered Iran’s development through sanctions, pressure, military and non military threats. The United States and its hegemonic policies are the root cause of Iran’s economic difficulties. The United States attempts to impose a non independent and compliant regime, which goes against the dignity of the Iranian people. Regarding US President Trump’s “maximum pressure” policy, Alaghzi said that the US “ignores all Israeli crimes in the region and attempts to portray Iran as a threat”, which is pure “deception and threat shifting”. In addition, Alaghi said that Russian President Putin’s visit to Iran has been included in the long-term plan of the two countries, and Iran is negotiating specific arrangements with Russia.
