Foreign Minister Amirabdollahian maintained that “history, experience and a study of the U.S. behaviour have shown that the U.S. politicians and rulers cannot be trusted. For us, the criterion for any judgment will be the observation of the practical behaviour of the U.S.”. He also noted: “As for the issue of sanctions removal, all interests of Iran must be realised and things must change tangibly on the ground”. The following day, briefing parliament, Amirabdollahian emphasised that “Iran’s determination to reach a good, lasting and reliable deal is absolute”.
