Need to Engage With a Broader Set of Partners

Iran needs to work more closely with Russia and China to counter the United States, but should not confine itself to a limited number of partners as going down this path does not benefit the country in the long run, a former official said.
Washington has made it clear that it wants to confront Tehran, Moscow and Beijing so these nations should increase their cooperation to resist the policies of their "common enemy", Ebrahim Rahimpour, who previously served as deputy foreign minister for Asia-Pacific affairs, told ISNA in a recent interview. 
On the 70th anniversary of NATO, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo appealed for unity to confront "great power" challenges from Russia, China and Iran.
