Abstract

One of the most challenging issues raised by the Supreme Leader is the negotiation with the United States. He was not optimistic about the negotiations, considering the requirements of the Islamic Ummah, and in many cases stated that negotiations should not be held with US for various reasons, including the non-compliance of the United States with its obligations. Given that negotiation and non-negotiation with the United States have far-reaching implications for Islamic society, it is necessary to discuss the Quranic documentation of the Leader’s opposition in this regard, emphasizing the views of American Orientalists. The present study has analyzed the mentioned issue using descriptive-analytical method and referring to the verses of the Quran and referring to the statements of the Supreme Leader and the views of American Orientalists. The findings suggest that the reason for the Leader’s opposition was that the United States and some of its Orientalists have shown over the years that they are arrogant and do not stand with their commitments. As a result, not-fulfilling promise, distrust, threats to national security, and maximum pressure will be the consequences of unconditional negotiations with such stubborn enemies. The revelatory word also states that Muslims have no right to retreat in the face of such enemies, but must stand up to their extravagance and avoid any dependence on them, and rise up to defend the oppressed in order to intimidate them in all areas
