Ali Motahari: We shouldn’t be more Catholic than the Pope

Ali Motahari wrote on his Instagram page criticizing the way negotiations with the United States are conducted

Our way of negotiating with the United States has become a laughingstock for everyone. Instead of negotiating directly and finishing the task in a few sessions, we give our response to the European Union, the EU gives it to the United States, the US gives its response to the EU, and the EU gives it back to Iran. All of this is for the sake of a revolutionary gesture that we want to humiliate the US, while our nation is being humiliated under economic pressures. We shouldn’t be more Catholic than the Pope. The Holy Prophet negotiated with Abu Sufyan, the greatest enemy of Islam, before the conquest of Mecca and preserved the lives and wealth of the people.
