Tehran insists Trump’s shifting rhetoric cannot change the “realities on the ground,” a security source told RT
US President Donald Trump said he expects “more talks” with Iran as soon as this week, reiterating his claim that Tehran desperately wants to “make a deal.” A security source in Tehran, however, called Trump’s rhetoric an attempt at oil market manipulation.
Trump made the remarks in a phone interview with Axios on Sunday, a day after dismissing the latest Iranian peace proposal as “unacceptable.” Tehran has proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the lifting of the US naval blockade and the resumption of nuclear negotiations.
“I expect more talks with Iran. They want to make a deal, but it is not the deal that I want to make. It is what we would have maybe agreed to a year ago. They overplayed their hand,” Trump told Axios.
