After Iran rejected claims of negotiations with the U.S., Trump accused its leadership of being “duplicitous.” He also claimed that Iranian officials were not being truthful about peace talks.
Trump wrote, “Iranian Leadership is unbelievably duplicitous! They ask for a meeting, some would say ‘beg,’ talks begin, with more scheduled in the immediate future, and they say, openly and proudly, that they’re not having any discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they’re only dealing with ‘Oman.’”
He continued, “They then go on to give their usual blather in saying, the Strait of Hormuz will be operated powerfully by them, when it is already completely controlled by the United States Navy and our ‘Blockade’ or, as some say, ‘The United States Wall of Steel!’”
Trump added, “Nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will get through, unless a Deal, or Total Surrender, is accomplished.”
The president later concluded, “Whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are, in fact, talking of a solution to a problem that they have caused, for decades. It is very simple, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
Trump’s statement reflected his frustration over Iran’s public denial of negotiations. His final remarks also renewed his warning over Iran’s nuclear program.
Shortly before the statement, Trump claimed that negotiations with Iran were progressing in a friendly manner. His remarks raised hopes that the conflict could move toward a resolution.
However, Iran’s denial and Trump’s latest response show that major disagreements remain over whether negotiations are taking place.
