(Tehran Times-Iran) Hassan Lasjerdi - There are some points to bear in mind about Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei's viewpoint regarding Washington's policies. Some wrongly believe that following the nuclear pact, Iran and the U.S. are set to resolve all the outstanding issues they have in their relations. Some hold the idea that Iran and the U.S. will turn into partners to resolve the crises crippling the Middle East. Amid these speculations, the Leader has stressed that Iran would keep on practicing its anti-hegemonic, anti-imperialism, and resistance policy. In other words, the Leader has clearly indicated that taking a single step to resolve a number of issues does not mean turning a blind eye to all that has happened in the past, and that the West needs to take more serious and fundamental steps to make up for what it has done in the past.
