Former MP Slams The Regime’s Ambassador to Moscow for Supporting Putin<\/h3>\n

\"iran-diplomacy-irani\"<\/p>\n

Following the remarks of the Iranian regime’s ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali who suggested Tehran intends to join the Russian financial transaction system called MIR, former MP Jalal Mirzaei called out the ambassador and called his remarks a blow to the regime’s interests.<\/p>\n

“While in light of the Ukraine invasion, the international community strongly promotes anti-Russian and anti-Putin statements, even if we accept that the Islamic Republic of Iran has decided to continue economic and commercial cooperation with the Kremlin, which is a totally wrong decision and against the national interests, the more important question is why should this issue be made public?” questions Mirzaei in an article on the state-run website Diplomacy Irani<\/a> (Iranian Diplomacy)<\/p>\n

Referring to the long history of problematic statements of the Iranian regime’s ambassador to Moscow, the author continued: “In the midst of the pandemic, without conducting the necessary due diligence, the Iranian ambassador signed a contract with Russia to import about 50 to 60 million doses of Sputnik vaccine and used the latter for political, diplomatic and extensive media maneuvering. At the end of the day, we witnessed that the Russian side failed to fulfill its obligations to send this amount of vaccine to Iran and only about two million doses of Russian vaccine were sent to Iran. Those vaccines did not have the necessary credibility in the world, nor did they show the necessary efficacy against the coronavirus.”<\/p>\n

Blaming the regime’s ambassador to Moscow for humiliating Ebrahim Raisi in his visit to Moscow, Mirzaei added: “Observing the sensitive domestic atmosphere in the country as well as considering the conflicts between the Kremlin and Putin himself, the Iranian ambassador to Russia could have suggested another time for the president’s trip to Moscow. But Kazem Jalali failed to come up with such a proposal. It must be said that Iran’s humiliation in Russia was due to the wrong advice of Kazem Jalali as the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Russia. He is partially to blame for this untimely meeting\u00a0 of Raisi with Putin.”<\/p>\n
