Fmr. Iranian Diplomat: Futile Diplomacy of ‘Empty Smiles’ Over After ‘Humiliating’ U.S. Defeat in AfghanistanJoshua Klein 4 Sep 2021
Following the United States’ “humiliating” defeat in Afghanistan, former Iranian diplomat Amir Mousavi warned that the days of Iran’s “futile diplomacy” of “empty smiles” were now over and that the hardline anti-American regime would accelerate its nuclear ambitions and pose a “great danger” to Western countries if the U.S. does not accept its nuclear deal conditions, adding that the Islamic republic’s sphere of influence in the region has now become accepted in Washington.
In an interview that aired on Iraq TV on Tuesday, Mousavi proclaimed that “The days of empty smiles are over” in reference to the diplomacy of outgoing Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who was also the lead negotiator for the Iran nuclear deal.
“That diplomacy accomplished nothing for the Iranian citizens,” he added.
