Throughout his speech, Dr. Sajjadpour was also critical of the U.S. policy to reinstate sanctions, arguing that actions by the U.S. have inflicted damage on the global community. "The U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA is not just against Iran. It is against the international community, against Europe, and against Japan," said Dr. Sajjadpour. "Iran negotiated, Iran came to an agreement, and it was based on international law. On one side you have international law, international organization, and diplomacy, and on the other you have unilateral policies and very personal tendencies, which is not acceptable by the normal mind."
Strained relations between Iran and the U.S. remained a central topic of discussion during the Q&A session. In response to questions from the audience, Dr. Sajjadpour emphasized the unilateral nature of U.S. actions, stating that "if you accept today what the U.S. is telling you...international law would be dead, peace is not going to be there, and tomorrow an executive order by any American president can become international law," which is "very dangerous for our interests, for your interests, and for the rest of the world." He also argued that because the JCPOA was reached through a multilateral dialogue, he could not see Iran entering bilateral negotiations with the United States.
