The current line of conduct of the North Atlantic Alliance will eventually lead to the disintegration of NATO. This was announced on Thursday, January 20, by Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi during his speech in the State Duma.
“NATO is engaged in penetration into the geographical spaces of countries under various pretexts and cover, they threaten independent states. Opposition to independent democracies, opposition to the self-identification of peoples, culture, traditions of peoples – all this is on the NATO agenda, and this is a hoax. Such behavior will eventually lead to their disintegration,” he stressed.
In addition, during his speech, the head of state touched upon the topic of Iran’s nuclear activities, noting that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed the absence of violations in this area, writes “Gazeta.Ru”.
Negotiations on security guarantees were held in three stages in January. On January 10, a meeting of the Russian and US delegations took place in Geneva. On January 12, a meeting of the Russia-NATO Council was held in Brussels, and on January 13, consultations ended at the Vienna site of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
On January 16, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called for a de-escalation of the situation in Ukraine, saying that NATO was ready to “listen to the concerns” of Russia, but stressed that the alliance was not ready to compromise on expansion.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, in turn, pointed out that the United States and NATO are not ready to meet Russian proposals on security guarantees. According to him, NATO’s position on the issue of non-expansion of the alliance is “impenetrable”, which is alarming.
On December 17, the Russian Foreign Ministry published draft agreements between Russia, the United States and NATO on security guarantees. It follows from the documents that the alliance must renounce any military activity on the territory of Ukraine and other states of Eastern Europe, Transcaucasia and Central Asia. Also, Russia and NATO must pledge not to create conditions that can be regarded as a threat by the other side.
