Washington’s approach to nuclear negotiations with Iran is aimed at “neutralizing” the Islamic Republic as an opponent in the Middle East and keeping “US hegemony in dominance,” an analyst says.
“The goal is not to establish a peaceful mutually respectful relationship between Iran and the United States. The goal is to neutralize Iran as a political, military [and] diplomatic opponent in the Middle East and to allow US hegemony in dominance,” Phil Wilayto, editor of Virginia Defender Newspaper, told Press TV on Sunday.
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – Britain, China, France, Russia and the US – plus Germany held two days of negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear energy program in Geneva, Switzerland, on October 15-16. The two sides have agreed to meet again in the Swiss city on November 7-8.
