IRI warns about so-called 'peace' talks

IRI Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Araghchi says the so-called 'peace' talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority is a Zionist conspiracy to fish in the regional troubled waters.

Araghchi made the remarks when asked by Qudsna reporter about the possible outcomes of a new round of the talks that started on Tuesday.

The spokesman said the current talks were being staged at the worst possible time.

The diplomat said the Zionist regime perceives it can take back concessions from the Palestinian people at time when the region is engulfed in crises.

"We have always advised the Palestinian leaders to be cautious about the situation and not allow the Zionist regime to abuse the situation," he said.

The Iranian diplomat said the talks were not in favor of the Palestinians, adding that the new round of talks would only add to the number of Palestinian refugees rather than allowing the existing ones to return to their historical land.

The diplomat also chided the Palestinian Authority for not tabling the issue of the occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem') during the talks.
