Tasnim news agency quoted Al-Jazeera newspaper as saying that the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani had a recent meeting with the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ali Khamenei, which was published in the media.
The news agency noted that the statement by the Qatari foreign minister, in which he said that the “Supreme Leader” had told the Qatari delegation that Tehran was “ready to bargain over the Iranian case,” was in fact a reference to this statement. According to Al Jazeera, the Iranian leadership told us that they were ready to compromise, while a simple glance showed that the translation was “wrong, cunning and for political purposes.”
Al-Jazeera did not publish this word about the leader of the revolution in its news, but used the word “leader” which is translated in diplomatic tradition as “officials”, so its translation is the phrase “leader of Iran”. “It’s completely wrong. The pronoun” they are “in the sentence also indicates that it does not mean a person, but a group of officials.
The channel also used the word “compromise”, which often means bargaining. Some cunning translations have deliberately used the word “compromise” to convey a specific message. While bargaining in Persian is completely different from what is described in English as “compromise”. Bargaining in the sense of canceling situations has nothing to do with translating “compromise.”
Saeed Khatibzadeh, spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told Tasnim: “Such a story about this meeting is completely wrong, and secondly, it seems that even the translation of Al-Jazeera is not accurate enough, and in this case, media deception.” And there is advertising. Should also be considered.
Khatibzadeh said: “The Supreme Leader of the Revolution did not comment on the bargaining, but told the Emir of Qatar: We have always said that negotiations should be fruitful and not a waste of time.” “Americans know what to do about this.”
He added: “The statement of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution is quite clear that the ball is in America’s court and he must make a wise political decision to fulfill his obligations.”
It should be noted that the statement of the controversial Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani is currently on Al-Jazeera: file.”
