Reuters Published

The offer by the United States to negotiate with Iran is a deception, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday in remarks published on his official website.
US President Donald Trump has said he is willing to hold talks with the Islamic Republic.
“Negotiations are a deception for what they want. A weapon is in your hands and they don't dare come close. They say drop the weapon so I can do whatever I want with you. This is negotiation,” Khamenei said.

Trump is getting dictation from Netanyahu of Israel and his supporters in the US Congress. As long as Iran is there , Israel can't have hegemony over is neighbours .Petrodollar rich Arabs autocrats tacitly are on the side of Israel. Iran is the only stumbling block , obstacle in the way of the US and Israel.

since its inception as a nation state, the US has entered into and then broken every agreement it made with the Native Americans. also since its inception there has been only ten years where the US hasn't been in some conflict. the US cannot be trusted and thus I don't blame the Iranians from being sceptical.

The United States has created 50 or more new industries none has ever seen before in the past 25 years. Pakistanis do not want to be America's friend. Makes no sense. The Chinese put World War II out of their minds and carried on. The Vietnamese put the Vietnam War behind them and carried on, but Pakistanis and elephants never forget. The result is Pakistan is not participating in any of those new industries.

Can't blame Iran 's supreme leader. Ex president Obama signed the agreement along with other European countries, came along this uninhibited, unhinged president. Donald J Trump , he nullified the agreement as a concession to Israel disregarding norms of international laws. Trusting Trump is like intentionally walking into a trap.

@Abuzar, Your support is based solely on religion. It's impossible to debate any topic when it comes to religion, because debate requires the ability to reason, and produce facts. Your hands are not tied, your mind is. Your elected officials are privy to the facts, and will do what is best for you, regardless of your irrational, emotional, and self destructive thinking.

Leaders guide their nations, and you are leader in true sense. You have summarised whole story in a few words. People who are persecuted by satellite states all over the world would like to urge you to hold your weapons firmly and handle bullying power wisely..
