IRNA - Secretary of Iran's Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaei said on Monday that US President Donald Trump is a hollow drum who lacks necessary qualifications for a big job.


In a meeting with Swiss Ambassador to Iran Markus Leitner on Monday, he added, �Regarding the JCPOA and Iran�s reaction to US exit from the deal, we are waiting for decisions of European parties, Russia and China, as we are monitoring their behaviors.�

�We want to see how they will fulfill their commitment under the deal in a bid to save it,� he said.

Iran nuclear deal, officially known as Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is an international pact violated by the Americans, Rezaei said, noting that they committed a big mistake which will bring them nothing but failure.

Pointing to re-imposition of unilateral sanctions, he said, �We are wise enough no to fall into this trap and we will manage our economy through rationality and instruments available.�

�If they impose sanctions on us for 40 years, we will able to run our economy through interactions inside the country and 15 neighboring states,� he said.

He further noted that Iran is a big country in the region which plays its part in the regional peace, security and trade.

Iran does not intend to wage a war against any country but it wants to live independently, Rezaei said, adding that every country it has entered was legal and at their request.

�If we did not defeat Daesh, now terrorists were in control of Baghdad, Kuwait and Syria,� he said.

The Swiss envoy, for his part, referred to the upcoming visit of Iran�s President Hassan Rouhani to Switzerland, reiterating his country�s support for the JCPOA.

He said the Swiss foreign minister in a statement has called US exit from the JCPOA as a wrong move.

Leitner also pointed to his country�s readiness for holding ceasefire talks between Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
