Tehran says the efforts of the countries trying to implement an Iranophobia project are falling flat, and those who are trying to present a bad image of Iran to attain their illegitimate goals are really worried now after the nuclear deal.
In an interview on Iranian television, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the world needs to take a more realistic view of Iran and understand that it is not seeking nuclear weapons. He added that the only thing that Iranians want is respect. Zarif said Iranians will never tolerate receiving orders from others and will never let others decide for them. Zarif also noted that the people of Iran cannot accept that the Israeli regime, which itself possesses nuclear weapons, calls itself the standard-bearer of the non-proliferation campaign.

Iran\'s foreign minister says the US had an illusion that it could totally dismantle Tehran\'s nuclear facilities and this illusion had thwarted any possible deal.
Zarif says there\'s still deep mistrust between the two sides and both need to work to build trust. At a meeting with the presence of the IAEA chief, Zarif also noted that it would be a big mistake to assume Iran has participated in talks because of sanctions. He says when sanctions were first imposed only 200 centrifuges were working, but now Tehran has 19-thousand centrifuges. Zarif says nuclear technology is now localized in Iran, and Tehran does not need the help of other countries. For his part, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Yukia Amano said Tehran is meeting its commitments within the framework of the Geneva agreement.

This, as the Iranian deputy foreign minister says any agreement on the horizon is bound to respect Iran\'s right to enrichment.

Iran says it\'s ready to negotiate a comprehensive and final deal on its nuclear energy program. The preliminary accord, which was reached on Sunday, meant to lay the foundations for a comprehensive agreement later this year.
Zarif was speaking at Tehran\'s Mehrabad Airport upon arrival back home from Geneva. He said the Iranian nation showed that no one can talk to them through pressure.

Based on the interim deal, Iran has agreed to limit the level of its enrichment activities for the next six months in exchange for the easing of sanctions. The foreign minister was given a heroic welcome by the people who\'d gathered at the airport several hours before his arrival.

Iran\'s president says the problems in the Middle East have doubled since the creation of israel.

The Lebanese official also held a separate meeting with Iran\'s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif. Zarif says Israel\'s pressure to derail the recent deal on Iran\'s nuclear deal is in fact aimed at diverting attention from its aggression against Palestinians.

Iran\'s foreign minister says talks on reaching a comprehensive deal on Tehran\'s nuclear energy program should result in the total removal of all anti-Iran sanctions.
Mohammad Javad Zarif made the remarks during a press conference with visiting Swedish Foreign minister Carl Bildt in Tehran. Zarif says Tehran believes that U-S-led sanctions have been both illegal and counter-productive and did nothing to help solve the problem. Iran\'s top diplomat noted that the sanctions, which made it difficult for the Iranian companies to purchase even food and medical items, have intensified pessimism among the Iranian people. Bildt also voiced Sweden\'s support for finding a final and comprehensive solution to Iran\'s nuclear energy program. He says the issue can be solved within a six-month period it both sides act in good will.

In a meeting with the Secretary General of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Tehran, Mohamad Javad Zarif said the resistance will undoubtedly be successful in defending the rights of Palestinians. He also touched on the importance of unity and convergence among Muslims. Zarif also said there are attempts to spread Iranophobia in the region, adding that they are meant to downplay the threats of Israel for Muslim countries. The head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, in turn, said Israel has for many times broken its promises in the so-called peace talks. Ramezan Abdullah also stressed that the only way for Palestinians to go ahead is through resistance.
