DUBAI - A senior Iranian military official has accused U.S. President Donald Trump of dishonesty, saying Washington is calling for talks while “holding a gun” at Tehran, the semi-official news agency Mehr reported on Friday. Trump has said publicly he wants to pursue a diplomatic route with Iran after withdrawing the United States from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, moving to cut off all Iranian oil exports this month while beefing up the U.S. Navy and Air Force presence in the Gulf.Iran has dismissed the U.S.

“The actions of American leaders in exerting pressure and launching sanctions ... while speaking of talks, is like holding a gun at someone and asking for friendship and negotiations,” Mehr quoted Rasoul Sanai-Rad, a political deputy of the armed forces command, as saying. “The behavior of American leaders is a political game which consists of threats and pressure while showing a willingness to negotiate in order to present a peaceful image of themselves and fool public opinion,” Sanai-Rad said.

Iran has been making the threats. If they do anything they will regret it BIGLY!

They want to talk to a leader. Not a Clown

Again, questions remain: Is the measure of a man what he does with power? Or, what is the measure of a man who bluffs? One item of note. POTUS came to DC WITH POWER while the others came in search of it, Why? They are still powerless Fact: Trump is neutering them one by one.

Summit & photo op pre 2020 reelection! Same stunt he pulled on N.Korea's Kim! A liar & always a liar! Terrible thing all white working class & white Evangelicals buy his fraud!

What Iran wants—Donald Trump is wrong to reduce it to “supporting terrorism,” report showsIran ultimately “intended to achieve absolute security, defined as the ability to thwart its adversaries’ ability to overturn its regime or invade Iran militarily,” according to a new report.
