Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee spokesman Seyed Hossein Naghavi Hosseini, referring to the Tuesday meeting of the Committee, said the get-together focused on a plan to "Counter US Adventurous and Terrorist Measures in the Region”, and reviewed a number of proposals.

During the meeting, Zarif pointed to the invitation and hosting of more than one hundred foreign delegations at minimum cost during Presidfent Rouhani’s inauguration ceremony, mostly from Europe, including Italy, the UK, France, Germany, regional countries such as Qatar, Oman and Kuwait, and Central Asia; "the presence of world leaders and dignitaries in the ceremony proves the US policy to isolate the Islamic Republic of Iran and its Iranophobic project have encountered a huge failure," Naghavi Hosseini qouted Zarif.

Iran includes two top priorities in the future work plan; the first is the regional issues and the second is the activation of diplomacy in the economic field, foreign minister has said according to MP.

Reducing and managing tensions with the United States are among the most important tasks of the Foreign Ministry in the future government, and on JCPOA, we are determined to defend the interests of Iranian nation and not allow Americans to impose any costs on Iran for the violation of JCPOA, Zarif has said.
