Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Sunday that the risk of a war against Israel "is great" and badured that the troops of their countries deployed in Syria "are only there to fight against terrorism.

The Chancellor is in Munich, Germany, and spoke during the The 2019 edition of the conference on security takes place every year in the Bavarian city.

During his participation, he said that Iranian troops in Syria were present "at the invitation of the Syrian government and for the sole purpose of fighting terrorism, for no other reason", as reported by the agency Reuters.

Iran was recently questioned about activities in Syria, both its revolutionary guard corps as well as local militias backed by Tehran, this fight not only the Islamic State terrorists (ISIS, in English), but as well as to the many opposition groups that rose up in 2011 against Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, at the root of the ongoing civil war and that made nearly half a year. -million deaths.

"And the international community and all the peoples of Europe, who believe that international law is the pillar of the international order, blame us and not the Israelis," he said. .

Zarif clearly asked a reporter if he was referring to a possible war between his country and Israel. "The risk is high, but the risk will be even greater if they continue to turn a blind eye to serious violations of international law."

The Chancellor also made reference to INSTEX, the international trading mechanism launched by France, Germany and the United Kingdom (E3) to allow the exchange of goods with Iran, in the framework of the nuclear agreement signed in 2015, despite the wave of sanctions put in place by the United States last year and which practically isolated the Persian country.

"INSTEX does not reach the commitment made by E3 to save the nuclear deal. Europe must get wet if it hopes to swim against the dangerous wave of US unilateralism"he said.

A controversial pact with uncertain destiny

The nuclear agreement signed in 2015 by the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, France and Germany, on the one hand, and the Iranian regime, of on the other hand, establishes a series of controls and limitations on the Iranian nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions that strangled for years the Persian economy.

In this way, Iran undertook, among other measures, to to stop enriching uranium, to deliver their enriched uranium deposits and to open their nuclear program to international inspectors this would corroborate that he persecuted only peaceful purposes. In return, Tehran could return to international markets, especially to sell oil, buy consumer goods and machinery, and access their frozen funds.

The deal was negotiated during the last term of US President Barack Obama and came into effect in 2016. But in 2018, the new US President, Donald Trump, has kept his campaign promise. and withdrew his country from the pact, claiming that it had allowed Iran to strengthen its ballistic missile program and increase its support for terrorist groups abroad, such as the Hizbollah.

Since then, the agreement has been kept in the newspapers, but without the presence of the United States and the reinstatement of sanctions by Washington. It has practically stopped working.

In this regard, E3 announced the creation of the financial mechanism INSTEX, whichWhat is the creation of a special entity to trade with Iran without using the US dollar?, but that so far, Tehran has been deemed insufficient.
