Iran leader: US should focus on ‘America First’ policy – not ‘Israel First’

Iran’s first vice president says the outcome of the high-stakes negotiations in Islamabad rests entirely on US priorities.

Mohammad Reza Aref posted on X that a mutually beneficial agreement is probable if US representatives focus on their “America First” interests, News.Az reports, citing Al Jazeera.

He issued a warning against any pivot towards an “Israel First” agenda.

Aref said that would result in a “no deal” and Iran would “inevitably continue our defence even more vigorously than before”.

That scenario, he warned, would impose “greater costs” on the world.
