TEHRAN – Former Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi has highlighted the U.S. government’s lack of commitment to its international obligations and expressed pessimism about the future of a recent rapprochement between Washington and Pyongyang.

“The United States is the embodiment of non-commitment to all ethical and international principles,” Tasnim quoted Vahidi as saying on Sunday.

“The U.S. does not even act properly (in dealing with) its European friends,” he said, adding, “How the U.S. interacts with Britain, Germany and France proves that Washington values nothing other than its interests.”
