Iran has criticized the change in US President Donald Trump's position on the possibility of lifting economic sanctions against Tehran, describing it as “psychological and media games“ that do not lead to a real solution to the problems between the two countries, Reuters reports, BTA reports.
“These statements by Trump should be perceived more as part of his psychological and media games than as a serious expression of a desire for dialogue or finding solutions“, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said at a press conference.
Earlier today, Trump said that “he is not offering anything“ of Iran and stressed that there was no contact between the two countries after the US struck Iranian sites.
“Tell fake Democratic Senator Chris Coons that I am not offering Iran ANYTHING, unlike former President Obama who gave them billions of dollars under the stupid "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action" which is now history! Also - I am not talking to them because WE have completely DESTROYED their nuclear facilities“, Trump wrote on the social network Truth Social.
His statement was provoked by a comment by Senator Chris Coons, who in an interview with Fox News hinted that the US may have offered Iran a new deal similar to that of the Obama administration - “tens of billions of dollars in incentives and eased sanctions in exchange for limiting their nuclear program“.
