West facing new realities in its global order - Iranian parliament

Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf described the failed attempt by the U.S. and three European countries to trigger the snapback mechanism of the JCPOA as manifestation of a changing global order no longer shaped by unilateral decisions.

The Parliament speaker said that Iran, which enjoys historical background and a unique position, can serve as the axis of regional and global multilateral cooperation in alignment with China and Russia as strategic partners.

"Such cooperation, in addition to strengthening economic and technological ties, finds meaning in confronting unilateralism and global hegemonic structures," Qalibaf said.

According to him, a clear example of such transformation is the game of tariffs and the US’ discriminatory trade policies, which are pursued with the purpose of imposing its will on the global economy.

"The official opposition of two permanent members of the Security Council (Russia and China), is a sign of a new world - a world whose decisions are no longer written in a single capital,” Qalibaf said.
