The "same gang" behind the 2003 Iraq War are "at it again" in pushing for war with his country, Iran's Foreign Minister tells News.
MUNICH — Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has warned the U.S. and its allies that it would be "suicidal" to start a war with Iran, accusing Washington of having a "pathological obsession" with his country.
In a wide-ranging exclusive interview with our News on Friday, Zarif said that the "same gang" behind the 2003 Iraq War are "at it again" in pushing for war with his country.
"I'm not saying President Trump's administration, I'm saying people in President Trump’s administration are trying to create the same eventuality and I believe they will fail," he said.
Still, he said he hoped "some sense will prevail" but warned that "people will find out that it's suicidal to engage in a war with Iran."
Zarif also appeared to dismiss the idea of renegotiating the landmark 2015 Iran nuclear deal that aimed to curb the country's weapons program in exchange for sanctions relief.
The administration of President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement last year, putting it at odds with European leaders and independent watchdogs who say Iran is complying with its terms.
