The West has only "contempt for the law," as demonstrated by NATO's intervention in Libya in 2011, and Tehran must keep this in mind during any negotiations, Burkinabé political analyst Lianhoué Imhotep Bayala told Sputnik Africa.
"Iran has every right to distance itself from these negotiation offers from the Western bloc. Because this is a bloc that tramples on the rules. This example of Gaddafi must enlighten the conscience and strategic intelligence of Iranian decision-makers," he noted.
Unlike Libya, however, Iran possesses a "solid and decentralized political infrastructure," which has enabled the rapid replacement of Ali Khamenei, the expert emphasized.
