Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif noted the US' penchant for betraying its own clients, saying it is "wishful, if not suicidal, to expect the US to provide them protection and support."
"There is an urgent need for a unified stance by the international community to compel the US to reverse its dangerous course in order to avert a global catastrophe," Zarif stressed during his speech at a ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in the Azerbaijani capital Baku on Wednesday.
The Iranian diplomat discussed major disrupting elements in the region, such as the Palestinian cause, the horrendous atrocities against the people of Yemen, US' withdrawal from the JCPOA, as well as the American economic war, and advocated the Hormuz Peace Endeavor (HOPE) as means to the peaceful settlement of all disputes.
"Today, the United States has even proven its propensity to betray its own clients. Many have learned that it is wishful—if not suicidal—to expect the US to provide them protection and support," Zarif said.
