News | Baghaei: Iran-E3 meeting a test of their realism / Yemen’s surprises for the West

Pars Today – Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baghaei, called the Tehran meeting with three European countries (UK, France, and Germany) a valuable opportunity to correct their stance on Iran’s nuclear issue.

Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, said the Friday meeting between Tehran and the three European countries (the UK, France, and Germany) in Istanbul, Turkey, is a valuable opportunity to correct these countries’ perspectives and positions regarding Iran’s nuclear issue.

According to Pars Today, Baghaei expressed hope that the three countries would use this opportunity to make up for their previous unconstructive approaches, which have undermined Europe’s credibility and negotiating position, reducing it to a marginal player.

Baghaei, referring to the repeated threats by European countries to trigger the so-called snapback mechanism, stated:
“There is no justification for failing to remove Iran’s nuclear issue from the Security Council’s agenda at the scheduled time. Moreover, the three European countries, due to their positions and actions regarding their JCPOA commitments, fundamentally lack the qualification and legitimacy to resort to such a mechanism.”

Yemen: We have many surprises for the West 

Brigadier General Yahya Muhammad Al-Mahdi, Chairman of Yemen's Defense and Security Committee in Yemen's Council, stated on Friday in reference to threats from the U.S. and the West: "Should America and Europe return to their military tensions, they will be surprised by the plans Yemen has prepared for them."

Yemen has now emerged as a power, possessing substantial deterrent capabilities against the latest American and Western armaments, with numerous strategic surprises prepared for them. This was demonstrated before the eyes of the world in the Red Sea, where we caught them off guard - the world witnessed how two of their vessels were sunk within 24 hours, despite the deployment of rescue teams, massive warships, and aircraft carriers from major powers that proved incapable of saving them. Therefore, should America contemplate attacking Yemen again, it will encounter even greater surprises.
