Qasemi: Iran to put all options on table in case of US disloyalty

Tehran, Nov 21, IRNA – Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi said on Monday that Tehran never compromises on interests of its people and in case new sanctions are approved by the US Congress, Iran will put on table all its options and even enforce them. Addressing his weekly press briefing, Qasemi said what will be ratified in the US Congress or House of Representatives should turn into law through legal proceedings, otherwise, it will lack any legitimacy. 'If these sanctions are to be ratified by the US Senate and its president, Iran is determined to use all options on table and will never waste any time to take the next step,' Qasemi said. 'When we remain committed to our pledges, they should reciprocate,' he said, adding, 'There is no room for any concern as on the right time and by observing vigilance we reached mutual understanding in nuclear talks and in case of necessity we can make new decisions in line with our national interests and put them in force,' he said. 'We are now watching them but avoid taking them seriously as these sanctions are now at the Congress but if these are to get serious, we will deal with them seriously,' he said. 'We will never compromise on the people's as well as country's interests on major issues under wise decisions made by the country's officials as well as by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic revolution,' he said. 1378/IRNA
