An Iranian analyst says the US deep-seated dishonesty towards Iran is endangering Tehrans hard-won nuclear deal with the world powers.In the past, the United States has been untrustworthy when it comes to Iran and that is why now many people believe that the whole agreement is in danger of collapse, Mohammad Marandi told Press TV in an interview on Sunday.
He was referring to the nuclear deal Iran clinched with the six world powers on its nuclear program in Geneva in November.
As recently as last Thursday, the administration of US President Barack Obama issued new sanctions against more than a dozen companies and individuals for providing support for Tehrans nuclear program. As part of the Geneva deal, it was agreed that no more sanctions would be imposed on Iran for six months.
Marandi said the US is not only moving against the spirit of the deal, but also against the deal itself.
I think that most would agree that this is nothing new. The United State has never been an honest partner when it comes to Iran, he added.
As an example of US insincerity, Marandi referred to Irans negotiations with the US on war-stricken Afghanistan, saying, Iran sincerely tried to resolve the problem in the country, the United States immediately went and called Iran an Axis of Evil.
The analyst, however, said Tehran may give the United States a chance to show that it has changed its behavior towards Iran.
And that if the United States refuses to change, then it reveals that the issue is not Irans; it has nothing to do with different Iranian administrations or presidents and that the problem really lies with the United States itself, said Marandi.
