During this news conference, Lapid claimed that Israel must always be strong and secure and have a powerful army, and the only way to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is to use the option of using force and military threats!
Also, without referring to Washington’s withdrawal from the JCPOA in 2018 along with the violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231, about the process of negotiations to lift anti-Iranian sanctions, Joe Biden claimed: The United States is waiting for Iran’s response to its proposals to return to the JCPOA, but this wait It will not be forever.
The American president also added that “diplomacy is the best way to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons” regardless of the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program and the reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency about it! We specified for Iran what it was ready to accept in order to return to the nuclear agreement, and therefore we are waiting for their response! Of course, we will not wait forever for Iran’s response.
At the same time as the news conference of US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid in occupied Jerusalem, the two sides in a joint statement on the commitment of the United States to create a regional structure in order to further deepen the relations of the Zionist regime with the countries of the region and expand it with Other Arab and Islamic countries emphasized that it was called “Quds Declaration”.
This anti-Iranian statement adds: The United States emphasizes that one of the components of this commitment is to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons forever, and the United States is ready to use all elements of its national power to ensure this.
In another part of this anti-Iranian statement, Washington’s commitment to cooperate with partners other than the Zionist regime to counter Iran’s alleged hostile actions and alleged destabilizing activities, either directly or through groups and organizations such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and Jihad Islamic Palestine emphasizes.
In this regard, Nasser Kanani wrote on his Twitter account: In the joint statement of Biden and Lapid, the “fixed and decisive commitment of the United States to maintain the security and military superiority of Israel” is emphasized.
In the continuation of this tweet, he emphasized: Don’t make a mistake; The target is not only Iran, but Arab and Islamic countries should always accept the superiority of the Zionist regime.
After the occupied territories, Biden entered Saudi Arabia and met with the Saudi king and crown prince.
In a press conference at his hotel in Jeddah, the US President said: Thanks to the consultation with Saudi leaders, we were able to open the kingdom’s airspace to all airlines. They agreed in Yemen. We expect practical steps from Riyadh regarding the Saudis’ help to fill the place of Russian oil and gas, and we have to wait two weeks to see the decrease in energy prices.
After US President Joe Biden’s meetings with Saudi officials during his trip to Jeddah, Washington and Saudi Arabia issued a joint statement.
Also, Saudi media reported that Washington and Riyadh signed 18 agreements and memorandums of cooperation in the fields of energy, investment, communication, space and health.
According to this report; US President Joe Biden has come to the region in a situation where his popularity has decreased drastically in the US polls, and on the other hand, fuel prices have increased sharply due to the increase in energy prices in the world and the inflation rate in the US over the past forty years. has reached its maximum.
At the same time, economic experts are reporting the possibility of a serious record in the American economy, so all of the above conditions have pressured Biden to travel to the region, including Saudi Arabia, to increase energy production in the United States, because energy prices After the corona epidemic and the war between Ukraine and Russia, it has skyrocketed.
On the other hand, at the beginning of his presidency, Joe Biden talked about putting pressure on Saudi Arabia in the field of human rights, but due to his problems, he is meeting with the Saudi authorities today. America’s goal is to sign new arms contracts with the Saudis in order to improve the situation of arms companies in America.
Another point is that Biden’s trip to the region took place on the eve of mid-term congressional elections in the United States, and some speculations indicate that the Democrats are likely to lose one of the houses of Congress.
In addition, Biden himself is facing serious question marks regarding his participation in the elections for the second term of his presidency, so it seems that he is seeking the support of the Israel lobby inside the United States. In addition, the American president seeks to help support and strengthen the Zionist regime in the region.
Also, the joint statement of Biden and Lapid clearly points out that the United States supports the interests and security of the Zionist regime, but the strengthening of this fake regime may at first glance be aimed at threatening Iran, but in the long run, this story can harm the countries of the region, including the Arab countries.
The statements and obstacles of the officials of the Biden government and their lack of decision to return to the JCPOA, up to this moment, indicate that Washington is pursuing its policy, especially regarding the region, within the framework of the interests of the Zionist regime. Because currently America is looking to change the balance in West Asia and is looking to contain Iran, Russia and China, so it should leave this issue to the Zionist regime and Saudi Arabia to secure its interests in the region.
