Abbasi: Negotiations with America Must Not Weaken National Interests

Kamalshahr – The Member of Parliament for Karaj said: The main issue in negotiations with America is preserving the country's independence, rights and national interests, and negotiations must not become a tool for imposing demands.

Referring to the lasting message of the Ashura incident, he said: "Reviewing history shows that victory and defeat cannot be evaluated solely based on the apparent and temporary results of events; Because sometimes what appears to be a failure at first glance, turns into the most lasting victory over time.

Referring to Imam Hussain's (pbuh) stand against Yazid and the role of Hazrat Zainab (pbuh) in keeping the message of Karbala alive, he added: Imam Hussain (pbuh) refused to surrender to oppression and perversion, and Hazrat Zainab (pbuh) also kept the message of Ashura alive despite enduring the heavy sufferings of Karbala. In such a way that after centuries, the name and school of Ahl al-Bayt (A.S.) still remain in history.

Emphasizing the necessity of knowing the principles and foundations in political decision-making, the representative of the Islamic Council drew attention to the issue of negotiations with the United States and clarified: the essence of the matter is not just to negotiate, but it should be determined on what basis this negotiation will be conducted and whether the independence, rights and national interests of the country will be preserved in this way or not.

Referring to the principles of independence, freedom and the Islamic Republic, he pointed out: Adherence to the principles is one of the basic requirements in facing external pressures, and negotiations should not be allowed to become a tool for imposing unilateral demands.

Abbasi also pointed to the developments in Venezuela and Iraq and expressed his views on the US policies towards other countries, emphasizing the need to be vigilant against political and economic pressures and considered it necessary to pay attention to the consequences of dependence in strategic areas.

Referring to the methods of influence, this member of parliament considered the economic, cultural, political, security and social fields as areas that need careful attention and investigation.

Abbasi emphasized: Maintaining independence and safeguarding national interests requires recognizing various threats and being alert to factors that can affect the country's decisions and its independence.

In another part of his speech, he considered faith and endurance to be important components of victory, and referring to verse 139 of Surah Al-Imran, "Wala tahenwa wa wa tahzanwa wa antumu al-'aloon if you are not believers", he stated: outward power and material facilities They are not the only determining factors in the fate of nations, but faith, patience, stability and trust in God also play an essential role in achieving victory.

By recalling the story of Talot and Goliath in the Holy Quran, Abbasi emphasized the importance of resistance against greater powers and the necessity of maintaining the spirit of perseverance, and listed the correct understanding of the conditions, adherence to religious principles, and trust in God's promises as effective factors in overcoming difficulties.

In the end, the representative of the Islamic Council, emphasizing the necessity of preserving principles and transferring values and experiences from one generation to another, considered it necessary to be vigilant against various threats and pay attention to various dimensions of the country's independence.
