The Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Chamenei reacted to Trump’s negotiating offer and threats. He speaks of tyranny.
The spiritual head in Iran, Ayatollah Ali Chamenei, calls the current US government a “tyrant government”. “Some tyrant governments – I really don’t know a more suitable term for some foreign personalities and leaders than the word tyranny – insist on negotiations,” said Chamenei. “Your negotiations do not aim to solve problems, but to dominance.” He did not call the United States in the word, but reported to him shortly after an alleged letter from Donald Trump.
The US President said on Friday that he wrote to the Iranian head. According to Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi, Iran has not received a letter from US President Donald Trump. “We heard about it, but we didn’t get anything,” said the foreign minister on Saturday on Iranian state television.
Trump had said on Friday that he had said in a letter to the spiritual head of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Chamenei, that he wanted to negotiate the Iranian nuclear program and that he would be “much better” for Iran. At the same time, the US President threatened to intervene militarily – “and that will be a terrible thing for her”. Iran should not have nuclear weapons.
Chameni also criticized France, Great Britain and Germany. “You say that Iran has not fulfilled his commitments from the JCPOA. OK, did you fulfill your obligations as part of the JCPOA?” He addressed the European countries who had previously negotiated with Iran.
The JCPoa agreement, which was closed between Tehran and the western powers in 2015, provided for an exemption from economic sanctions in return to a limitation of the nuclear activities. Chameni said Tehran had complied with his obligations for a year, but there was “no other option” than to withdraw in accordance with the laws adopted by the country’s parliament.
The western states have been accusing Iran for years to strive for the construction of nuclear weapons what Tehran denies. In 2015, Tehran signed an agreement that provided the loosening of sanctions in return for containing the Iranian nuclear program. During the first presidency of Trump, the United States retired unilaterally from the agreement in 2018.
