US pressure will bring countries together: Zarif

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says Washington’s actions will eventually serve to bolster ties among nations.

Zarif made the remarks on Wednesday following a surprise visit to Turkey where he met with his counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

“Our friends in Turkey along with many of Washington’s allies in Europe have reached the conclusion that the US can no longer be depended on as partner,” he said.

He added that the US’ actions show that countries must rethink their further relations, and that Washington’s pressure on regional countries will serve to bring them together.
