US Vice President Mike Pence blamed Tehran of plotting a “new Holocaust” with its opposition to Israel and regional ambitions in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen. While, Mass responded by saying, “our goal remains an Iran without nuclear weapons, precisely because we see clearly how Iran is destabilising the region”. Without this agreement, “the region will not be safer and would actually be one step closer to an open confrontation,” Mass added.
