‘I’m not your buddy, guy!’
In his interview with RT’s Oksana Boyko, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif expresses his hopes for a potential thawing in the icy US-Iran relations, now that Joe Biden has taken office.
However, Zarif stresses that he has never been a ‘buddy’ to the new US leader, despite having worked closely with him over the past 20 years.
He goes on to talk about the destructiveness of America’s ‘economic terrorism’ and discusses the fallout of the United States’ abandonment of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Iran, also called Persia, officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a country in Western Asia. Its central location in Eurasia and proximity to the Strait of Hormuz give it significant geostrategic importance. Tehran is the capital and largest city.
Iran is home to one of the world’s oldest civilizations, beginning with the formation of the Elamite kingdoms in the fourth millennium BC. The Iranian Revolution established the current Islamic Republic in 1979.
Iran’s political system combines elements of a presidential democracy and an Islamic theocracy. Iran is a founding member of the UN, ECO, OIC, and OPEC. It is a major regional and middle power and has large reserves of fossil fuels — including the world’s largest natural gas supply and the third largest proven oil reserves.
The country’s rich cultural legacy is reflected in part by its 22 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Historically a multi-ethnic country, Iran remains a pluralistic society comprising numerous ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups, the largest being Persians, Azeris, Kurds, Mazandaranis and Lurs.
Joe Biden is an American politician serving as the 46th and current president of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the 47th vice president from 2009 to 2017 under Barack Obama and represented Delaware in the United States Senate from 1973 to 2009.
